Chapter 26
Then
all
the
people
of
Judah
took
Uzziah,
who
was
sixteen
years
old,
and
made
him
king
in
the
room
of
his
father
Amaziah.
2
He
built
Eloth,
and
restored
it
to
Judah,
after
that
the
king
slept
with
his
fathers.
3
Sixteen
years
old
was
Uzziah
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
fifty
and
two
years
in
Jerusalem.
His
mother’s
name
also
was
Jecoliah
of
Jerusalem.
4
And
he
did
that
which
was
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
according
to
all
that
his
father
Amaziah
did.
5
And
he
sought
God
in
the
days
of
Zechariah,
who
had
understanding
in
the
visions
of
God:
and
as
long
as
he
sought
the
Lord,
God
made
him
to
prosper.
6
And
he
went
forth
and
warred
against
the
Philistines,
and
brake
down
the
wall
of
Gath,
and
the
wall
of
Jabneh,
and
the
wall
of
Ashdod,
and
built
cities
about
Ashdod,
and
among
the
Philistines.
7
And
God
helped
him
against
the
Philistines,
and
against
the
Arabians
that
dwelt
in
Gur-baal,
and
the
Mehunims.
8
And
the
Ammonites
gave
gifts
to
Uzziah:
and
his
name
spread
abroad
even
to
the
entering
in
of
Egypt;
for
he
strengthened
himself
exceedingly.
9
Moreover
Uzziah
built
towers
in
Jerusalem
at
the
corner
gate,
and
at
the
valley
gate,
and
at
the
turning
of
the
wall,
and
fortified
them.
10
Also
he
built
towers
in
the
desert,
and
digged
many
wells:
for
he
had
much
cattle,
both
in
the
low
country,
and
in
the
plains:
husbandmen
also,
and
vine
dressers
in
the
mountains,
and
in
Carmel:
for
he
loved
husbandry.
11
Moreover
Uzziah
had
an
host
of
fighting
men,
that
went
out
to
war
by
bands,
according
to
the
number
of
their
account
by
the
hand
of
Jeiel
the
scribe
and
Maaseiah
the
ruler,
under
the
hand
of
Hananiah,
one
of
the
king’s
captains.
12
The
whole
number
of
the
chief
of
the
fathers
of
the
mighty
men
of
valour
were
two
thousand
and
six
hundred.
13
And
under
their
hand
was
an
army,
three
hundred
thousand
and
seven
thousand
and
five
hundred,
that
made
war
with
mighty
power,
to
help
the
king
against
the
enemy.
14
And
Uzziah
prepared
for
them
throughout
all
the
host
shields,
and
spears,
and
helmets,
and
habergeons,
and
bows,
and
slings
to
cast
stones.
15
And
he
made
in
Jerusalem
engines,
invented
by
cunning
men,
to
be
on
the
towers
and
upon
the
bulwarks,
to
shoot
arrows
and
great
stones
withal.
And
his
name
spread
far
abroad;
for
he
was
marvellously
helped,
till
he
was
strong.
16
But
when
he
was
strong,
his
heart
was
lifted
up
to
his
destruction:
for
he
transgressed
against
the
Lord
his
God,
and
went
into
the
temple
of
the
Lord
to
burn
incense
upon
the
altar
of
incense.
17
And
Azariah
the
priest
went
in
after
him,
and
with
him
fourscore
priests
of
the
Lord,
that
were
valiant
men:
18
And
they
withstood
Uzziah
the
king,
and
said
unto
him,
It
appertaineth
not
unto
thee,
Uzziah,
to
burn
incense
unto
the
Lord,
but
to
the
priests
the
sons
of
Aaron,
that
are
consecrated
to
burn
incense:
go
out
of
the
sanctuary;
for
thou
hast
trespassed;
neither
shall
it
be
for
thine
honour
from
the
Lord
God.
19
Then
Uzziah
was
wroth,
and
had
a
censer
in
his
hand
to
burn
incense:
and
while
he
was
wroth
with
the
priests,
the
leprosy
even
rose
up
in
his
forehead
before
the
priests
in
the
house
of
the
Lord,
from
beside
the
incense
altar.
20
And
Azariah
the
chief
priest,
and
all
the
priests,
looked
upon
him,
and,
behold,
he
was
leprous
in
his
forehead,
and
they
thrust
him
out
from
thence;
yea,
himself
hasted
also
to
go
out,
because
the
Lord
had
smitten
him.
21
And
Uzziah
the
king
was
a
leper
unto
the
day
of
his
death,
and
dwelt
in
a
several
house,
being
a
leper;
for
he
was
cut
off
from
the
house
of
the
Lord:
and
Jotham
his
son
was
over
the
king’s
house,
judging
the
people
of
the
land.
22
Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Uzziah,
first
and
last,
did
Isaiah
the
prophet,
the
son
of
Amoz,
write.
23
So
Uzziah
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
with
his
fathers
in
the
field
of
the
burial
which
belonged
to
the
kings;
for
they
said,
He
is
a
leper:
and
Jotham
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
