Then all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 UzziahH5818, who was sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and made him kingH4427 in the room of his fatherH1 AmaziahH558. {Uzziah: or, Azariah}
He builtH1129 ElothH359, and restoredH7725 it to JudahH3063, afterH310 that the kingH4428 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1.
SixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was UzziahH5818 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was JecoliahH3203 of JerusalemH3389.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fatherH1 AmaziahH558 didH6213.
And he soughtH1875 GodH430 in the daysH3117 of ZechariahH2148, who had understandingH995 in the visionsH7200 of GodH430: and as long asH3117 he soughtH1875 the LORDH3068, GodH430 made him to prosperH6743. {in the visions…: Heb. in the seeing of God}
And he went forthH3318 and warredH3898 against the PhilistinesH6430, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of GathH1661, and the wallH2346 of JabnehH2996, and the wallH2346 of AshdodH795, and builtH1129 citiesH5892 about AshdodH795, and among the PhilistinesH6430. {about…: or, in the country of Ashdod}
And GodH430 helpedH5826 him against the PhilistinesH6430, and against the ArabiansH6163 that dweltH3427 in GurbaalH1485, and the MehunimsH4586.
And the AmmonitesH5984 gaveH5414 giftsH4503 to UzziahH5818: and his nameH8034 spread abroadH3212 even to the enteringH935 in of EgyptH4714; for he strengthenedH2388 himself exceedinglyH4605. {spread…: Heb. went}
Moreover UzziahH5818 builtH1129 towersH4026 in JerusalemH3389 at the cornerH6438 gateH8179, and at the valleyH1516 gateH8179, and at the turningH4740 of the wall, and fortifiedH2388 them. {fortified: or, repaired}
Also he builtH1129 towersH4026 in the desertH4057, and diggedH2672 manyH7227 wellsH953: for he had muchH7227 cattleH4735, both in the low countryH8219, and in the plainsH4334: husbandmenH406 also, and vine dressersH3755 in the mountainsH2022, and in CarmelH3760: for he lovedH157 husbandryH127. {digged…: or, cut out many cisterns} {Carmel: or, fruitful fields} {husbandry: Heb. ground}
Moreover UzziahH5818 had an hostH2428 of fightingH4421 menH6213, that went outH3318 to warH6635 by bandsH1416, according to the numberH4557 of their accountH6486 by the handH3027 of JeielH3273 the scribeH5608 and MaaseiahH4641 the rulerH7860, under the handH3027 of HananiahH2608, one of the king'sH4428 captainsH8269.
The whole numberH4557 of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428 were two thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.
And under their handH3027 was an armyH2428+H6635, threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967, that madeH6213 warH4421 with mightyH2428 powerH3581, to helpH5826 the kingH4428 against the enemyH341. {an army: Heb. the power of an army}
And UzziahH5818 preparedH3559 for them throughout all the hostH6635 shieldsH4043, and spearsH7420, and helmetsH3553, and habergeonsH8302, and bowsH7198, and slingsH7050 to cast stonesH68. {slings…: Heb. stones of slings}
And he madeH6213 in JerusalemH3389 enginesH2810, inventedH4284 by cunning menH2803, to be on the towersH4026 and upon the bulwarksH6438, to shootH3384 arrowsH2671 and greatH1419 stonesH68 withal. And his nameH8034 spreadH3318 far abroadH7350; for he was marvellouslyH6381 helpedH5826, tillH3588 he was strongH2388. {spread: Heb. went forth}
But when he was strongH2393, his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 to his destructionH7843: for he transgressedH4603 against the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and wentH935 into the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 to burn incenseH6999 upon the altarH4196 of incenseH7004.
And AzariahH5838 the priestH3548 went inH935 afterH310 him, and with him fourscoreH8084 priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, that were valiantH2428 menH1121:
And they withstoodH5975 UzziahH5818 the kingH4428, and saidH559 unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, UzziahH5818, to burn incenseH6999 unto the LORDH3068, but to the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, that are consecratedH6942 to burn incenseH6999: go outH3318 of the sanctuaryH4720; for thou hast trespassedH4603; neither shall it be for thine honourH3519 from the LORDH3068 GodH430.
Then UzziahH5818 was wrothH2196, and had a censerH4730 in his handH3027 to burn incenseH6999: and while he was wrothH2196 with the priestsH3548, the leprosyH6883 even rose upH2224 in his foreheadH4696 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, from beside the incenseH7004 altarH4196.
And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and all the priestsH3548, lookedH6437 upon him, and, behold, he was leprousH6879 in his foreheadH4696, and they thrust him outH926 from thence; yea, himself hastedH1765 also to go outH3318, because the LORDH3068 had smittenH5060 him.
And UzziahH5818 the kingH4428 was a leperH6879 unto the dayH3117 of his deathH4194, and dwelt inH3427 a severalH2669+H2669 houseH1004, being a leperH6879; for he was cut offH1504 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 was over the king'sH4428 houseH1004, judgingH8199 the peopleH5971 of the landH776. {several: Heb. free}
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of UzziahH5818, firstH7223 and lastH314, did IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030, the sonH1121 of AmozH531, writeH3789.
So UzziahH5818 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the fieldH7704 of the burialH6900 which belonged to the kingsH4428; for they saidH559, He is a leperH6879: and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.

Moreover the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 against JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the ArabiansH6163, that were nearH5921+H3027 the EthiopiansH3569:
And afterH310 this it came to pass, that DavidH1732 smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430, and subduedH3665 them: and DavidH1732 tookH3947 MethegammahH4965 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. {Methegammah: or, the bridle of Ammah}
And the PhilistinesH6430 tookH3947 the arkH727 of GodH430, and broughtH935 it from EbenezerH72 unto AshdodH795.
RejoiceH8055 not thou, whole PalestinaH6429, because the rodH7626 of him that smoteH5221 thee is brokenH7665: for out of the serpent'sH5175 rootH8328 shall come forthH3318 a cockatriceH6848, and his fruitH6529 shall be a fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314. {cockatrice: or, adder}
