2 Chronicles 26:8 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 All the people of Judah had crowned Amaziah's sixteen-year-old son, Uzziah, as king in place of his father.
2 After his father's death, Uzziah rebuilt the town of Elath and restored it to Judah.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother was Jecoliah from Jerusalem.
4 He did what was pleasing in the LORD's sight, just as his father, Amaziah, had done.
5 Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who taught him to fear God. And as long as the king sought guidance from the LORD, God gave him success.
6 Uzziah declared war on the Philistines and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built new towns in the Ashdod area and in other parts of Philistia.
7 God helped him in his wars against the Philistines, his battles with the Arabs of Gur, and his wars with the Meunites.
8 The Meunites paid annual tribute to him, and his fame spread even to Egypt, for he had become very powerful.
9 Uzziah built fortified towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the angle in the wall.
10 He also constructed forts in the wilderness and dug many water cisterns, because he kept great herds of livestock in the foothills of Judah and on the plains. He was also a man who loved the soil. He had many workers who cared for his farms and vineyards, both on the hillsides and in the fertile valleys.
11 Uzziah had an army of well-trained warriors, ready to march into battle, unit by unit. This army had been mustered and organized by Jeiel, the secretary of the army, and his assistant, Maaseiah. They were under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king's officials.
12 These regiments of mighty warriors were commanded by 2,600 clan leaders.
13 The army consisted of 307,500 men, all elite troops. They were prepared to assist the king against any enemy.
14 Uzziah provided the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and sling stones.
15 And he produced machines mounted on the walls of Jerusalem, designed by experts to shoot arrows and hurl stones from the towers and the corners of the wall. His fame spread far and wide, for the LORD gave him marvelous help, and he became very powerful.
16 But when he had become powerful, he also became proud, which led to his downfall. He sinned against the LORD his God by entering the sanctuary of the LORD's Temple and personally burning incense on the incense altar.
17 Azariah the high priest went in after him with eighty other priests of the LORD, all brave men.
18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, "It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD. That is the work of the priests alone, the descendants of Aaron who are set apart for this work. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have sinned. The LORD God will not honor you for this!"
19 Uzziah, who was holding an incense burner, became furious. But as he was standing there raging at the priests before the incense altar in the LORD's Temple, leprosy suddenly broke out on his forehead.
20 When Azariah the high priest and all the other priests saw the leprosy, they rushed him out. And the king himself was eager to get out because the LORD had struck him.
21 So King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in isolation in a separate house, for he was excluded from the Temple of the LORD. His son Jotham was put in charge of the royal palace, and he governed the people of the land.
22 The rest of the events of Uzziah's reign, from beginning to end, are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
23 When Uzziah died, he was buried with his ancestors; his grave was in a nearby burial field belonging to the kings, for the people said, "He had leprosy." And his son Jotham became the next king.
1 Then all H3605 the people H5971 of Judah H3063 took H3947 H853 Uzziah, H5818 who H1931 was sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 old, H1121 and made him king H4427 H853 in the room of H8478 his father H1 Amaziah. H558
2 He H1931 built H1129 H853 Eloth, H359 and restored H7725 it to Judah, H3063 after that H310 the king H4428 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers. H1
3 Sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 old H1121 was Uzziah H5818 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 fifty H2572 and two H8147 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 His mother's H517 name H8034 also was Jecoliah H3203 of H4480 Jerusalem. H3389
4 And he did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 according to all H3605 that H834 his father H1 Amaziah H558 did. H6213
5 And he sought H1961 H1875 God H430 in the days H3117 of Zechariah, H2148 who had understanding H995 in the visions H7200 of God: H430 and as long as H3117 he sought H1875 H853 the LORD, H3068 God H430 made him to prosper. H6743
6 And he went forth H3318 and warred H3898 against the Philistines, H6430 and broke down H6555 H853 the wall H2346 of Gath, H1661 and the wall H2346 of Jabneh, H2996 and the wall H2346 of Ashdod, H795 and built H1129 cities H5892 about Ashdod, H795 and among the Philistines. H6430
7 And God H430 helped H5826 him against H5921 the Philistines, H6430 and against H5921 the Arabians H6163 that dwelt H3427 in Gur- H1485 baal , and the Mehunims. H4586
8 And the Ammonites H5984 gave H5414 gifts H4503 to Uzziah: H5818 and his name H8034 spread abroad H1980 even to H5704 the entering in H935 of Egypt; H4714 for H3588 he strengthened H2388 himself exceedingly H5704 H4605 .
9 Moreover Uzziah H5818 built H1129 towers H4026 in Jerusalem H3389 at H5921 the corner H6438 gate, H8179 and at H5921 the valley H1516 gate, H8179 and at H5921 the turning H4740 of the wall , and fortified H2388 them.
10 Also he built H1129 towers H4026 in the desert, H4057 and digged H2672 many H7227 wells: H953 for H3588 he had H1961 much H7227 cattle, H4735 both in the low country, H8219 and in the plains: H4334 husbandmen H406 also , and vinedressers H3755 in the mountains, H2022 and in Carmel: H3760 for H3588 he loved H1961 H157 husbandry. H127
11 Moreover Uzziah H5818 had H1961 a host H2428 of fighting men H6213 H4421 , that went out H3318 to war H6635 by bands, H1416 according to the number H4557 of their account H6486 by the hand H3027 of Jeiel H3273 the scribe H5608 and Maaseiah H4641 the ruler, H7860 under H5921 the hand H3027 of Hananiah, H2608 one of the king's H4428 captains H4480 H8269 .
12 The whole H3605 number H4557 of the chief H7218 of the fathers H1 of the mighty men H1368 of valor H2428 were two thousand H505 and six H8337 hundred. H3967
13 And under H5921 their hand H3027 was an army H2428 H6635 , three H7969 hundred H3967 thousand H505 and seven H7651 thousand H505 and five H2568 hundred, H3967 that made H6213 war H4421 with mighty H2428 power, H3581 to help H5826 the king H4428 against H5921 the enemy. H341
14 And Uzziah H5818 prepared H3559 for them throughout all H3605 the host H6635 shields, H4043 and spears, H7420 and helmets, H3553 and habergeons, H8302 and bows, H7198 and slings H7050 to cast stones. H68
15 And he made H6213 in Jerusalem H3389 engines, H2810 invented H4284 by cunning men, H2803 to be H1961 on H5921 the towers H4026 and upon H5921 the bulwarks, H6438 to shoot H3384 arrows H2671 and great H1419 stones H68 withal . And his name H8034 spread H3318 far abroad H5704 H4480; H7350 for H3588 he was marvelously H6381 helped, H5826 till H5704 H3588 he was strong. H2388
16 But when he was strong, H2394 his heart H3820 was lifted up H1361 to H5704 his destruction: H7843 for he transgressed H4603 against the LORD H3068 his God, H430 and went H935 into H413 the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 to burn incense H6999 upon H5921 the altar H4196 of incense. H7004
17 And Azariah H5838 the priest H3548 went in H935 after H310 him , and with H5973 him fourscore H8084 priests H3548 of the LORD, H3068 that were valiant men H1121 H2428 :
18 And they withstood H5975 H5921 Uzziah H5818 the king, H4428 and said H559 unto him, It appertaineth not H3808 unto thee, Uzziah, H5818 to burn incense H6999 unto the LORD, H3068 but H3588 to the priests H3548 the sons H1121 of Aaron, H175 that are consecrated H6942 to burn incense: H6999 go out H3318 of H4480 the sanctuary; H4720 for H3588 thou hast trespassed; H4603 neither H3808 shall it be for thine honor H3519 from the LORD H4480 H3068 God. H430
19 Then Uzziah H5818 was wroth, H2196 and had a censer H4730 in his hand H3027 to burn incense: H6999 and while he was wroth H2196 with H5973 the priests, H3548 the leprosy H6883 even rose up H2224 in his forehead H4696 before H6440 the priests H3548 in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 from beside H4480 H5921 the incense H7004 altar. H4196
20 And Azariah H5838 the chief H7218 priest, H3548 and all H3605 the priests, H3548 looked H6437 upon H413 him, and, behold, H2009 he H1931 was leprous H6879 in his forehead, H4696 and they thrust him out H926 from thence H4480 H8033 ; yea, himself H1931 hasted H1765 also H1571 to go out, H3318 because H3588 the LORD H3068 had smitten H5060 him.
21 And Uzziah H5818 the king H4428 was H1961 a leper H6879 unto H5704 the day H3117 of his death, H4194 and dwelt H3427 in a several H2669 house, H1004 being a leper; H6879 for H3588 he was cut off H1504 from the house H4480 H1004 of the LORD: H3068 and Jotham H3147 his son H1121 was over H5921 the king's H4428 house, H1004 judging H8199 H853 the people H5971 of the land. H776
22 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Uzziah, H5818 first H7223 and last, H314 did Isaiah H3470 the prophet, H5030 the son H1121 of Amoz, H531 write. H3789
23 So Uzziah H5818 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers, H1 and they buried H6912 him with H5973 his fathers H1 in the field H7704 of the burial H6900 which H834 belonged to the kings; H4428 for H3588 they said, H559 He H1931 is a leper: H6879 and Jotham H3147 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead.
