1 of God, and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper.
6 Isa 14.29 He went out and made war against the Philistines and broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod; he built cities in the territory of Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines.
72 Chr 21.16God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs who lived in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.
82 Chr 17.11The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread even to the border of Egypt, for he became very strong.
92 Chr 25.23; Neh 3.13Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the Angle and fortified them.
10He built towers in the wilderness and dug out many cisterns, for he had large herds, both in the Shephelah and in the plain, and he had farmers and vinedressers in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.
11Moreover, Uzziah had an army of soldiers, fit for war, in divisions according to the numbers in the muster made by the secretary Jeiel and the officer Maaseiah, under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king’s commanders.
12The whole number of the heads of ancestral houses of mighty warriors was two thousand six hundred.
132 Chr 25.5Under their command was an army of three hundred seven thousand five hundred, who could make war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.
14Uzziah provided for all the army the shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15In Jerusalem he set up machines, invented by skilled workers, on the towers and the corners for shooting arrows and large stones. And his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped until he became strong.
Pride and Apostasy16 Deut 32.15; 2 Kings 16.12, 13; 2 Chr 25.19 But when he had become strong he grew proud, to his destruction. For he acted unfaithfully toward the Lord his God and entered the temple of the Lord to make offering on the altar of incense.
171 Chr 6.10But the priest Azariah went in after him, with eighty priests of the Lord who were men of valor;
18Ex 30.7, 8; Num 16.39, 40they withstood King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to make offering to the Lord, but for the priests the descendants of Aaron, who are consecrated to make offering. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully, and it will bring you no honor from the Lord God.”
192 Kings 5.25–27Then Uzziah was enraged. Now he had a censer in his hand to make offering, and when he became enraged with the priests a defiling disease broke out on his forehead, in the presence of the priests in the house of the Lord, by the altar of incense.
20When the chief priest Azariah, and all the priests, looked at him, he was diseased on his forehead. They hurried him out, and he himself hurried to get out, because the Lord had struck him.
21Lev 13.46; Num 5.2; 2 Kings 15.5–7King Uzziah had a defiling disease to the day of his death, and being diseased lived in a separate house, for he was excluded from the house of the Lord. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace of the king, governing the people of the land.
22 Isa 1.1 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from first to last, the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz wrote.
232 Kings 15.7; Isa 6.1Uzziah slept with his ancestors; they buried him near his ancestors in the burial field that belonged to the kings, for they said, “He had a defiling disease.” His son Jotham succeeded him.
