@ Then all the
people
of
Judah
took
Uzziah
, who was
sixteen
years
old
, and made him
king
in the room of his
father
Amaziah
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:2
@ He
built
Eloth

restored
it to

after
that the

with his

strkjv@2Chronicles:26:3
@
Sixteen
years
old
was
Uzziah
when he began to
reign
, and he
reigned
fifty
and
two
years
in
Jerusalem
. His
mothers
name
also was
Jecoliah
of
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:4
@ And he
did
that which was
right
in the
sight
of the
LORD
, according to all that his
father
Amaziah
did
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:5
@ And he
sought
God
in the
days
of
Zechariah
, who had
understanding
in the
visions
of
God
: and as long
as
he
sought
the
LORD
,
God
made him to
prosper
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:6
@ And he went
forth
and
warred
against the
Philistines
, and brake
down
the
wall
of
Gath
, and the
wall
of
Jabneh
, and the
wall
of
Ashdod
, and
built
cities
about
Ashdod

Philistines
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:7
@ And
God
helped
him against the
Philistines
, and against the
Arabians
that
dwelt
in
Gurbaal
Guwr-, and the
Mehunims
M@.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:8
@ And the
Ammonites
gave
gifts
to
Uzziah
: and his
name
spread
abroad
even to the
entering
in of
Egypt
; for he
strengthened
himself
exceedingly
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:9
@ Moreover
Uzziah
built
towers
in
Jerusalem
at the
corner
gate
, and at the
valley
gate
, and at the
turning
of the wall, and
fortified
them.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:10
@ Also he
built
towers
in the
desert
, and
digged
many
wells
: for he had
much
cattle
, both in the low
country
, and in the
plains
:
husbandmen
also, and vine
dressers
in the
mountains
, and in
Carmel
: for he
loved
husbandry
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:11
@ Moreover
Uzziah
had an
host
of
fighting
men
, that went
out
to
war
by
bands
, according to the
number
of their
account
by the
hand
of
Jeiel
Y@ the
scribe
and
Maaseiah
the
ruler
, under the
hand
of
Hananiah
, one of the
kings
captains
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:12
@ The whole
number

were two
thousand

six

strkjv@2Chronicles:26:13
@ And under their
hand
was an
army

three
hundred
thousand
and
seven
thousand

five
hundred

made
war
with
mighty
power
, to
help
the
king
against the
enemy
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:14
@ And
Uzziah
prepared
for them throughout all the
host
shields
, and
spears
, and
helmets
, and
habergeons
, and
bows
, and
slings
to cast
stones
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:15
@ And he
made
in
Jerusalem
engines
,
invented
by cunning
men
, to be on the
towers
and upon the
bulwarks
, to
shoot
arrows
and
great
stones
withal. And his
name
spread
far
abroad
; for he was
marvellously
helped
,
till
he was
strong
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:16
@ But when he was
strong
, his
heart
was lifted
up
to his
destruction
: for he
transgressed
against the
LORD
his
God
, and
went
into the
temple
of the
LORD
to burn
incense
upon the
altar
of
incense
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:17
@ And
Azariah
the
priest
went
in
after
him, and with him
fourscore
priests
of the
LORD
, that were
valiant
men
:
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:18
@ And they
withstood
Uzziah
the
king
, and
said
unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee,
Uzziah
, to burn
incense
unto the
LORD
, but to the
priests
the
sons
of
Aaron
, that are
consecrated
to burn
incense
: go
out
of the
sanctuary
; for thou hast
trespassed
; neither shall it be for thine
honour
from the
LORD
God
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:19
@ Then
Uzziah
was
wroth
, and had a
censer
in his
hand
to burn
incense
: and while he was
wroth
with the
priests
, the
leprosy
even rose
up
in his
forehead
before
the
priests
in the
house
of the
LORD
, from beside the
incense
altar
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:20
@ And
Azariah
the
chief
priest
, and all the
priests
,
looked
upon him, and, behold, he was
leprous
in his
forehead
, and they thrust him
out
from thence; yea, himself
hasted
also to go
out
, because the
LORD
had
smitten
him.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:21
@ And
Uzziah
the
king
was a
leper
unto the
day
of his
death
, and dwelt
in
a
several
house
, being a
leper
; for he was cut
off
from the
house
of the
LORD
: and
Jotham
his
son
was over the
kings
house
,
judging
the
people
of the
land
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:22
@ Now the
rest
of the
acts
of
Uzziah
,
first
and
last
, did
Isaiah
the
prophet
, the
son
of
Amoz
,
write
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:26:23
@ So
Uzziah
slept
with s
fathers
, and they
buried
him with his
fathers
in the
field
of the
burial
which belonged to the
kings
; for they
said
, He is a
leper
: and
Jotham
his
son
reigned
in his stead.
