Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The writer condemns the obsequiousness of Urijah, whose conduct was the more inexcusable after the noble example of his predecessor Azariah Ch2 26:17-20.

17 And Azariah [05838] the priest [03548] went in [0935] after [0310] him, and with him fourscore [08084] priests [03548] of the LORD [03068], that were valiant [02428] men [01121]:
18 And they withstood [05975] Uzziah [05818] the king [04428], and said [0559] unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah [05818], to burn incense [06999] unto the LORD [03068], but to the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], that are consecrated [06942] to burn incense [06999]: go out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720]; for thou hast trespassed [04603]; neither shall it be for thine honour [03519] from the LORD [03068] God [0430].
19 Then Uzziah [05818] was wroth [02196], and had a censer [04730] in his hand [03027] to burn incense [06999]: and while he was wroth [02196] with the priests [03548], the leprosy [06883] even rose up [02224] in his forehead [04696] before [06440] the priests [03548] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], from beside the incense [07004] altar [04196].
20 And Azariah [05838] the chief [07218] priest [03548], and all the priests [03548], looked [06437] upon him, and, behold, he was leprous [06879] in his forehead [04696], and they thrust him out [0926] from thence; yea, himself hasted [01765] also to go out [03318], because the LORD [03068] had smitten [05060] him.
