Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - They withstood. A somewhat more forcible rendering would be justified by the Hebrew text, such e.g. as, "They confronted Uzziah to his face," or "They stood in the way of Uzziah," since our "withstood" almost always conveys the idea of argumentative confronting only. There was expostulation here, as we are immediately told, but there was something else also, as ver. 20 makes very plain, "They thrust him out."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) They withstood.--'Amad 'al, a late usage. (Comp. 1Chronicles 21:1.)It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense.--Comp. the construction (1Chronicles 15:2).Trespassed.--Done faithlessly (ma'al), 2Chronicles 26:16.Neither shall it be . . . Lord God.--Literally, and not to thee (is it) for honour from Jehovah; i.e., thine act will not issue in honour, as thou thinkest, but in shame. Or, perhaps, And burning incense belongs not to thee as a prerogative from Jehovah ('en, not l?,' would be more natural).
