Chapter
1
Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 Uzziah,H5818 whoH1931 was sixteenH8337 H6240 yearsH8141 old,H1121 and made him kingH4427 in the roomH8478 of his fatherH25 Amaziah.H558
2
He builtH1129 Eloth,H359 and restoredH7725 it to Judah,H3063 afterH310 that the kingH4428 sleptH7901 with his fathers.H1
3
SixteenH8337 H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was UzziahH5818 when he began to reign,H4427 and he reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 in Jerusalem.H3389 His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was JecoliahH3203 of Jerusalem.H3389
4
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 according to allH3605 that his fatherH25 AmaziahH558 did.H6213
5
And he soughtH1875 GodH430 in the daysH3117 of Zechariah,H2148 who had understandingH995 in the visionsH7200 of God:H430 and as longH3117 as he soughtH1875 the LORD,H3068 GodH430 made him to prosper.H6743
6
And he wentH3318 forthH3318 and warredH3898 against the Philistines,H6430 and brokeH6555 down the wallH2346 of Gath,H1661 and the wallH2346 of Jabneh,H2996 and the wallH2346 of Ashdod,H795 and builtH1129 citiesH5892 about Ashdod,H795 and among the Philistines.H6430
7
And GodH430 helpedH5826 him againstH5921 the Philistines,H6430 and againstH5921 the ArabiansH6163 that dwelledH3427 in Gurbaal,H1485 and the Mehunims.H4586
8
And the AmmonitesH5984 gaveH5414 giftsH4503 to Uzziah:H5818 and his nameH8034 spreadH3212 abroad even to the enteringH935 in of Egypt;H4714 for he strengthenedH2388 himself exceedingly.H4605
9
Moreover UzziahH5818 builtH1129 towersH4026 in JerusalemH3389 atH5921 the cornerH6438 gate,H8179 and at the valleyH1516 gate,H8179 and at the turningH4740 of the wall, and fortifiedH2388 them.
10
Also he builtH1129 towersH4026 in the desert,H4057 and digH2672 manyH7227 wells:H953 for he hadH1961 muchH7227 cattle,H929 both in the lowH8219 country, and in the plains:H4334 farmersH406 also, and vineH3755 dressersH3755 in the mountains,H2022 and in Carmel:H3760 for he lovedH157 husbandry.H127
11
Moreover UzziahH5818 had an hostH2428 of fightingH6213 H4421 men, that wentH3318 out to warH6635 by bands,H1416 according to the numberH4557 of their accountH6486 by the handH3027 of JeielH3273 the scribeH5608 and MaaseiahH4641 the ruler,H7860 underH5921 the handH3027 of Hananiah,H2608 one of the king'sH4428 captains.H8269
12
The wholeH3605 numberH4557 of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the mightyH1368 men of valorH2428 were two thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundred.H3967
13
And underH5921 their handH3027 was an army,H2426 H6635 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundred,H3967 that madeH6213 warH4421 with mightyH2428 power,H3581 to helpH5826 the kingH4428 againstH5921 the enemy.H341
14
And UzziahH5818 preparedH3559 for them throughout allH3605 the hostH6635 shields,H4043 and spears,H7420 and helmets,H3553 and habergeons,H8302 and bows,H7198 and slingsH7050 to cast stones.H68
15
And he madeH6213 in JerusalemH3389 engines,H2810 inventedH2803 by cunningH2803 men, to be onH5921 the towersH4026 and on the bulwarks,H6438 to shootH3384 arrowsH2671 and greatH1419 stonesH68 with. And his nameH8034 spreadH3318 farH7350 abroad;H7350 for he was marvelouslyH6381 helped,H5826 tillH5704 H3588 he was strong.H2388
16
But when he was strong,H2394 his heartH3820 was liftedH1361 up to his destruction:H7843 for he transgressedH4603 against the LORDH3068 his God,H430 and wentH935 intoH413 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 to burnH6999 incenseH6999 on the altarH4196 of incense.H7004
17
And AzariahH5838 the priestH3548 wentH935 in afterH310 him, and with him fourscoreH8084 priestsH3548 of the LORD,H3068 that were valiantH2428 men:H1121
18
And they withstoodH5975 UzziahH5818 the king,H4428 and saidH559 to him, It appertains not to you, Uzziah,H5818 to burnH6999 incenseH6999 to the LORD,H3068 but to the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of Aaron,H175 that are consecratedH6942 to burnH6999 incense:H6999 goH3318 out of the sanctuary;H4720 for you have trespassed;H4603 neitherH3808 shall it be for your honorH3519 from the LORDH3068 God.H430
19
Then UzziahH5818 was wroth,H2196 and had a censerH4730 in his handH3027 to burnH6999 incense:H6999 and while he was wrothH2196 with the priests,H3548 the leprosyH6883 even roseH2224 up in his foreheadH4696 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 in the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 from besideH5921 the incenseH7004 altar.H4196
20
And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priest,H3548 and allH3605 the priests,H3548 lookedH6437 on him, and, behold,H2009 he was leprousH6879 in his forehead,H4696 and they thrustH926 him out from there;H8033 yes, himselfH1931 hurriedH1765 alsoH1571 to goH3318 out, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 had smittenH5060 him.
21
And UzziahH5818 the kingH4428 was a leperH6879 to the dayH3117 of his death,H4194 and dwelledH3427 in a severalH2669 house,H1004 being a leper;H6879 for he was cutH1504 off from the houseH1004 of the LORD:H3068 and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 was overH5921 the king'sH4428 house,H1004 judgingH8199 the peopleH5971 of the land.H776
22
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Uzziah,H5818 firstH7223 and last,H314 did IsaiahH3470 the prophet,H5030 the sonH1121 of Amoz,H531 write.H3789
23
So UzziahH5818 sleptH7901 with his fathers,H1 and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the fieldH7704 of the burialH6900 whichH834 belonged to the kings;H4428 for they said,H559 He is a leper:H6879 and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
