2 Chronicles 26:1-23

26:1

Then all the people
<05971>

of Judah
<03063>

took
<03947> (8799)

Uzziah
<05818>_,

who [was] sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

and made him king
<04427> (8686)

in the room of his father
<01>

Amaziah
<0558>_.

{Uzziah: or, Azariah}

26:2

He built
<01129> (8804)

Eloth
<0359>_,

and restored
<07725> (8686)

it to Judah
<03063>_,

after
<0310>

that the king
<04428>

slept
<07901> (8800)

with his fathers
<01>_.

26:3

Sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

[was] Uzziah
<05818>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

fifty
<02572>

and two
<08147>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

His mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

also [was] Jecoliah
<03203>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

26:4

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that his father
<01>

Amaziah
<0558>

did
<06213> (8804)_.

26:5

And he sought
<01875> (8800)

God
<0430>

in the days
<03117>

of Zechariah
<02148>_,

who had understanding
<0995> (8688)

in the visions
<07200> (8800)

of God
<0430>_:

and as long as
<03117>

he sought
<01875> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_,

God
<0430>

made him to prosper
<06743> (8689)_.

{in the visions...: Heb. in the seeing of God}

26:6

And he went forth
<03318> (8799)

and warred
<03898> (8735)

against the Philistines
<06430>_,

and brake down
<06555> (8799)

the wall
<02346>

of Gath
<01661>_,

and the wall
<02346>

of Jabneh
<02996>_,

and the wall
<02346>

of Ashdod
<0795>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

cities
<05892>

about Ashdod
<0795>_,

and among the Philistines
<06430>_.

{about...: or, in the country of Ashdod}

26:7

And God
<0430>

helped
<05826> (8799)

him against the Philistines
<06430>_,

and against the Arabians
<06163>

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Gurbaal
<01485>_,

and the Mehunims
<04586>_.

26:8

And the Ammonites
<05984>

gave
<05414> (8799)

gifts
<04503>

to Uzziah
<05818>_:

and his name
<08034>

spread abroad
<03212> (8799)

[even] to the entering
<0935> (8800)

in of Egypt
<04714>_;

for he strengthened
<02388> (8689)

[himself] exceedingly
<04605>_.

{spread...: Heb. went}

26:9

Moreover Uzziah
<05818>

built
<01129> (8799)

towers
<04026>

in Jerusalem
<03389>

at the corner
<06438>

gate
<08179>_,

and at the valley
<01516>

gate
<08179>_,

and at the turning
<04740>

[of the wall], and fortified
<02388> (8762)

them. {fortified: or, repaired}

26:10

Also he built
<01129> (8799)

towers
<04026>

in the desert
<04057>_,

and digged
<02672> (8799)

many
<07227>

wells
<0953>_:

for he had much
<07227>

cattle
<04735>_,

both in the low country
<08219>_,

and in the plains
<04334>_:

husbandmen
<0406>

[also], and vine dressers
<03755>

in the mountains
<02022>_,

and in Carmel
<03760>_:

for he loved
<0157> (8802)

husbandry
<0127>_.

{digged...: or, cut out many cisterns} {Carmel: or, fruitful fields} {husbandry: Heb. ground}

26:11

Moreover Uzziah
<05818>

had an host
<02428>

of fighting
<04421>

men
<06213> (8802)_,

that went out
<03318> (8802)

to war
<06635>

by bands
<01416>_,

according to the number
<04557>

of their account
<06486>

by the hand
<03027>

of Jeiel
<03273>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)

and Maaseiah
<04641>

the ruler
<07860> (8802)_,

under the hand
<03027>

of Hananiah
<02608>_,

[one] of the king's
<04428>

captains
<08269>_.

26:12

The whole number
<04557>

of the chief
<07218>

of the fathers
<01>

of the mighty men
<01368>

of valour
<02428>

[were] two thousand
<0505>

and six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>_.

26:13

And under their hand
<03027>

[was] an army
<02428> <06635>_,

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

and seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

and five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>_,

that made
<06213> (8802)

war
<04421>

with mighty
<02428>

power
<03581>_,

to help
<05826> (8800)

the king
<04428>

against the enemy
<0341> (8802)_.

{an army: Heb. the power of an army}

26:14

And Uzziah
<05818>

prepared
<03559> (8686)

for them throughout all the host
<06635>

shields
<04043>_,

and spears
<07420>_,

and helmets
<03553>_,

and habergeons
<08302>_,

and bows
<07198>_,

and slings
<07050>

[to cast] stones
<068>_.

{slings...: Heb. stones of slings}

26:15

And he made
<06213> (8799)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

engines
<02810>_,

invented
<04284>

by cunning men
<02803> (8802)_,

to be on the towers
<04026>

and upon the bulwarks
<06438>_,

to shoot
<03384> (8800)

arrows
<02671>

and great
<01419>

stones
<068>

withal. And his name
<08034>

spread
<03318> (8799)

far abroad
<07350>_;

for he was marvellously
<06381> (8689)

helped
<05826> (8736)_,

till
<03588>

he was strong
<02388> (8804)_.

{spread: Heb. went forth}

26:16

But when he was strong
<02393>_,

his heart
<03820>

was lifted up
<01361> (8804)

to [his] destruction
<07843> (8687)_:

for he transgressed
<04603> (8799)

against the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

into the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>

to burn incense
<06999> (8687)

upon the altar
<04196>

of incense
<07004>_.

26:17

And Azariah
<05838>

the priest
<03548>

went in
<0935> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, and with him fourscore
<08084>

priests
<03548>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[that were] valiant
<02428>

men
<01121>_:

26:18

And they withstood
<05975> (8799)

Uzziah
<05818>

the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [It appertaineth] not unto thee, Uzziah
<05818>_,

to burn incense
<06999> (8687)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

but to the priests
<03548>

the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>_,

that are consecrated
<06942> (8794)

to burn incense
<06999> (8687)_:

go out
<03318> (8798)

of the sanctuary
<04720>_;

for thou hast trespassed
<04603> (8804)_;

neither [shall it be] for thine honour
<03519>

from the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_.

26:19

Then Uzziah
<05818>

was wroth
<02196> (8799)_,

and [had] a censer
<04730>

in his hand
<03027>

to burn incense
<06999> (8687)_:

and while he was wroth
<02196> (8800)

with the priests
<03548>_,

the leprosy
<06883>

even rose up
<02224> (8804)

in his forehead
<04696>

before
<06440>

the priests
<03548>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

from beside the incense
<07004>

altar
<04196>_.

26:20

And Azariah
<05838>

the chief
<07218>

priest
<03548>_,

and all the priests
<03548>_,

looked
<06437> (8799)

upon him, and, behold, he [was] leprous
<06879> (8794)

in his forehead
<04696>_,

and they thrust him out
<0926> (8686)

from thence; yea, himself hasted
<01765> (8738)

also to go out
<03318> (8800)_,

because the LORD
<03068>

had smitten
<05060> (8765)

him.

26:21

And Uzziah
<05818>

the king
<04428>

was a leper
<06879> (8794)

unto the day
<03117>

of his death
<04194>_,

and dwelt in
<03427> (8799)

a several
<02669> (8675) <02669>

house
<01004>_,

[being] a leper
<06879> (8794)_;

for he was cut off
<01504> (8738)

from the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and Jotham
<03147>

his son
<01121>

[was] over the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

judging
<08199> (8802)

the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_.

{several: Heb. free}

26:22

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Uzziah
<05818>_,

first
<07223>

and last
<0314>_,

did Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>_,

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>_,

write
<03789> (8804)_.

26:23

So Uzziah
<05818>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him with his fathers
<01>

in the field
<07704>

of the burial
<06900>

which [belonged] to the kings
<04428>_;

for they said
<0559> (8804)_,

He [is] a leper
<06879> (8794)_:

and Jotham
<03147>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.
