2 Chronicles 26 narrates the reign of Uzziah, a king of Judah who began well, but ended up falling into pride and disobedience to God. During his reign, Judah prospered and Uzzias became a powerful king, but his pride led him to enter the temple and try to offer incense, something only the priests were allowed to do. As a result, he was punished by God with leprosy. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in 2 chronicles 26:

Proverbs 16:18: "Pride precedes ruin, and arrogance comes before the fall." This verse is relevant to chapter 26, as Uzzias fell into disgrace because of his pride and arrogance.

2 Chronicles 26:5: "He sought God during the life of Zechariah, the master of the seers who gave him instruction in the fear of God." This verse shows that Uzziah began his reign seeking God and following his teachings.

Proverbs 16:32: "It is better the patient than the warrior, it is better to control his spirit than to conquer a city." This verse is relevant to Uziah, who was a successful warrior, but could not control his spirit of pride and disobedience.

2 Chronicles 26:16: "But when it was powerful, his heart became so proud that he acted infidelity against the Lord, his God. He entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense." This verse shows how Uzias became proud and disobedient to God, which eventually led to his fall.

Isaiah 6:1: "In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a tall and exalted throne, and the flap of his dress filled the temple." This verse shows that Uzziah was an important king in Judah and that his death had a great impact. It can also be interpreted as a sign of divine punishment on Uzziah for their disobedience.
