26:1 And
all
the
people
of
Judah
take
Uzziah
(and
he
[is]
a
son
of
sixteen
years),
and
cause
him
to
reign
instead
of
his
father
Amaziah.
26:2 He
hath
built
Eloth,
and
restoreth
it
to
Judah
after
the
king's
lying
with
his
fathers.
26:3 A
son
of
sixteen
years
[is]
Uzziah
in
his
reigning,
and
fifty
and
two
years
he
hath
reigned
in
Jerusalem,
and
the
name
of
his
mother
[is]
Jecholiah
of
Jerusalem.
26:4 And
he
doth
that
which
is
right
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
according
to
all
that
Amaziah
his
father
did,
26:5 and
he
is
as
one
seeking
God
in
the
days
of
Zechariah
who
hath
understanding
in
visions
of
God:
and
in
the
days
of
his
seeking
Jehovah,
God
hath
caused
him
to
prosper.
26:6 And
he
goeth
forth,
and
fighteth
with
the
Philistines,
and
breaketh
down
the
wall
of
Gath,
and
the
wall
of
Jabneh,
and
the
wall
of
Ashdod,
and
buildeth
cities
about
Ashdod,
and
among
the
Philistines.
26:7 And
God
helpeth
him
against
the
Philistines,
and
against
the
Arabians
who
are
dwelling
in
Gur-Baal
and
the
Mehunim.
26:8 And
the
Ammonites
give
a
present
to
Uzziah,
and
his
name
goeth
unto
the
entering
in
of
Egypt,
for
he
strengthened
himself
greatly.
26:9 And
Uzziah
buildeth
towers
in
Jerusalem,
by
the
gate
of
the
corner,
and
by
the
gate
of
the
valley,
and
by
the
angle,
and
strengtheneth
them;
26:10 and
he
buildeth
towers
in
the
wilderness,
and
diggeth
many
wells,
for
he
had
much
cattle,
both
in
the
low
country
and
in
the
plain,
husbandmen
and
vine-dressers
in
the
mountains,
and
in
Carmel;
for
he
was
a
lover
of
the
ground.
26:11 And
Uzziah
hath
a
force,
making
war,
going
forth
to
the
host,
by
troops,
in
the
number
of
their
reckoning
by
the
hand
of
Jeiel
the
scribe
and
Masseiah
the
officer,
by
the
hand
of
Hananiah
[one]
of
the
heads
of
the
king.
26:12 The
whole
number
of
heads
of
the
fathers
of
the
mighty
ones
of
valour
[is]
two
thousand
and
six
hundred;
26:13 and
by
their
hand
[is]
the
force
of
the
host,
three
hundred
thousand,
and
seven
thousand,
and
five
hundred
warriors,
with
mighty
power
to
give
help
to
the
king
against
the
enemy.
26:14 And
Uzziah
prepareth
for
them,
for
all
the
host,
shields,
and
spears,
and
helmets,
and
coats
of
mail,
and
bows,
even
to
stones
of
the
slings.
26:15 And
he
maketh
in
Jerusalem
inventions--a
device
of
an
inventor--to
be
on
the
towers,
and
on
the
corners,
to
shoot
with
arrows
and
with
great
stones,
and
his
name
goeth
out
unto
a
distance,
for
he
hath
been
wonderfully
helped
till
that
he
hath
been
strong.
26:16 And
at
his
being
strong
his
heart
hath
been
high
unto
destruction,
and
he
trespasseth
against
Jehovah
his
God,
and
goeth
in
unto
the
temple
of
Jehovah
to
make
perfume
upon
the
altar
of
perfume.
26:17 And
Azariah
the
priest
goeth
in
after
him,
and
with
him
priests
of
Jehovah
eighty,
sons
of
valour,
26:18 and
they
stand
up
against
Uzziah
the
king,
and
say
to
him,
`Not
for
thee,
O
Uzziah,
to
make
perfume
to
Jehovah,
but
for
priests,
sons
of
Aaron,
who
are
sanctified
to
make
perfume;
go
forth
from
the
sanctuary,
for
thou
hast
trespassed,
and
[it
is]
not
to
thee
for
honour
from
Jehovah
God.'
26:19 And
Uzziah
is
wroth,
and
in
his
hand
[is]
a
censer
to
make
perfume,
and
in
his
being
wroth
with
the
priests--the
leprosy
hath
risen
in
his
forehead,
before
the
priests,
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
from
beside
the
altar
of
perfume.
26:20 And
Azariah
the
head
priest
looketh
unto
him,
and
all
the
priests,
and
lo,
he
[is]
leprous
in
his
forehead,
and
they
hasten
him
thence,
and
also
he
himself
hath
hastened
to
go
out,
for
Jehovah
hath
plagued
him.
26:21 And
Uzziah
the
king
is
a
leper
unto
the
day
of
his
death,
and
inhabiteth
a
separate
house--a
leper,
for
he
hath
been
cut
off
from
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
Jotham
his
son
[is]
over
the
house
of
the
king,
judging
the
people
of
the
land.
26:22 And
the
rest
of
the
matters
of
Uzziah,
the
first
and
the
last,
hath
Isaiah
son
of
Amoz
the
prophet
written;
26:23 and
Uzziah
lieth
with
his
fathers,
and
they
bury
him
with
his
fathers,
in
the
field
of
the
burying-place
that
the
kings
have,
for
they
said,
`He
[is]
a
leper;'
and
reign
doth
Jotham
his
son
in
his
stead.
