When he was strong Strengthened in his kingdom, and free from the fear of any enemy; his heart was lifted up to his destruction Thus the prosperity of fools, by puffing them up with pride, destroys them. He had done so much business, and attained so much honour, that he began to think no business, no honour too great, or too good for him; no, not that of the priesthood. He went unto the temple of the Lord Into the holy place, where the altar of incense stood, and into which none but priests might enter, much less offer incense.
