2 Chronicles 26:6-9

26:6 Uzziah attacked ¹  the Philistines and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. He built cities in the region of Ashdod and throughout Philistine territory. ²  26:7 God helped him in his campaigns ³  against the Philistines, the Arabs living in Gur Baal, and the Meunites. 26:8 The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah and his fame reached ⁴  the border of Egypt, for he grew in power.

26:9 Uzziah built and fortified towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, Valley Gate, and at the Angle. ⁵ 

[26:6]  ¹ tn Heb “went out and fought.”

[26:6]  ² tn Heb “in Ashdod and among the Philistines.”

[26:7]  ³ tn The words “in his campaigns” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons

[26:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “and his name went to.”

[26:9]  ⁷ tn On the meaning of the Hebrew word מִקְצוֹעַ (miqtsoa’), see HALOT 628 s.v. עַ(וֹ)מִקְצֹ. The term probably refers to an “angle” or “corner” somewhere on the eastern wall of Jerusalem.
