2 Chronicles 26:1-13 ▼

1 And all the people will take Uzziah, and he the son of sixteen years, and they will make him king instead of his father Amaziah.

2 He built Eloth and turned it back to Judah; afterwards the king lay down with his fathers.

3 The son of sixteen years was Uzziah in his reigning, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name Jecoliah from Jerusalem.

4 And he will do the straight in the eyes of Jehovah according to all which Amaziah his father did.

5 And he will be for seeking God in the days of Zechariah understanding in the visions of God: and in the days of his seeking Jehovah, God prospered him.

6 And he will go forth and war against the rovers, and he will break in the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he will build cities in Ashdod, and among the rovers.

7 And God will help him against the rovers, and against the Arabians inhabiting Gur-Baal, and the Mehunims.

8 And the Ammonites will give a gift to Uzziah: and his name will go even to the entrance of Egypt: for he was strengthened even to above.

9 And Uzziah will build towers in Jerusalem at the gate of the corner, and at the gate of the valley, and at the angle, and he will strengthen them.

10 And he will build towers in the desert, and hew out many wells: for there were many cattle to him; and in the low country and in the plain; and husbandmen and vine-dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was loving the earth.

11 And there will be to Uzziah an army making war, going forth to war to a troop in the number of their reviewing by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the leader, upon the hand of Hananiah from the kings chiefs.

12 All the number of the heads of the fathers to the strong ones of power, two thousand and six hundred.

13 And upon their hand the power of an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, making war with the strength of power to help to the king against the enemy.
