“Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men:”
“And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men,”
“And Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty of the Lord's priests, who were strong men;”

Uzziah supplied shields, spears, helmets, breastplates, bows, and slingstones for the entire army.
In Jerusalem he made war machines carefully designed to shoot arrows and large stones from the towers and corners of the walls. He became very famous, for he received tremendous support and became powerful.
But once he became powerful, his pride destroyed him. He disobeyed the LORD his God. He entered the LORD’s temple to offer incense on the incense altar.
Azariah the priest and eighty other brave priests of the LORD followed him in.
They confronted King Uzziah and said to him,“It is not proper for you, Uzziah, to offer incense to the LORD. That is the responsibility of the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who are consecrated to offer incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have disobeyed and the LORD God will not honor you!”
Uzziah, who had an incense censer in his hand, became angry. While he was ranting and raving at the priests, a skin disease appeared on his forehead right there in front of the priests in the LORD’s temple near the incense altar.
When Azariah the high priest and the other priests looked at him, there was a skin disease on his forehead. They hurried him out of there; even the king himself wanted to leave quickly because the LORD had afflicted him.
