2 Chronicles 26:6-15 - Uzziah's Exploits

⁶ So he went forth and made war against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, - and built cities in Ashdod, and among the Philistines. ⁷ And God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabians who dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Meunim. ⁸ And the Ammonites gave a present to Uzziah, - and his name went forth as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he shewed exceeding great strength. ⁹ And Uzziah built towers, in Jerusalem, over the corner-gate, and over the valley-gate, and over the angle, - and he made them strong. ¹⁰ And he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells, for, much cattle, had he, both in the lowland, and in the plain, - husbandmen and vinedressers, in the mountains and in the fruitful field, for, a lover of the soil, was he.

¹¹ And it came to pass that Uzziah had a force ready to make war, to go forth as a host in company, by the number of their reckoning, under the direction of Jeiel the scribe, and Maaseiah the officer, - under the direction of Hananiah, from among the captains of the king. ¹² The whole number of the ancestral chiefs pertaining to the heroes of valour, was two thousand and six hundred; ¹³ and, under their direction, was the force of a host, three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, ready to make war, with the strength of a force, - for helping the king against an enemy. ¹⁴ And Uzziah prepared for them, for all the host, bucklers and spears and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, - and yea even sling-stones. ¹⁵ And he made in Jerusalem, inventions invented of the inventor, to be upon the towers and upon the turrets, for throwing with arrows, and with great stones, - so that his name went forth afar, for he was marvellously helped, until that he was strong.
