2 Chronicles 26:6-10 ▼

6 Uzziah attacked the Philistines and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. He built cities in the region of Ashdod and throughout Philistine territory.

7 God helped him in his campaigns against the Philistines, the Arabs living in Gur Baal, and the Meunites.

8 The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah and his fame reached the border of Egypt, for he grew in power.

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

10 He built towers in the desert and dug many cisterns, for he owned many herds in the lowlands and on the plain. He had workers in the fields and vineyards in the hills and in Carmel, for he loved agriculture.
