1 Then all the people 5971 of Judah 3063 took 3947 Uzziah 5818, who was sixteen 8337 6240 years 8141 old 1121, and made him king 4427 in the room of his father 1 Amaziah 558.
2 He built 1129 Eloth 359, and restored 7725 it to Judah 3063, after 310 that the king 4428 slept 7901 with his fathers 1.
3 Sixteen 8337 6240 years 8141 old 1121 was Uzziah 5818 when he began to reign 4427, and he reigned 4427 fifty 2572 and two 8147 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389. His mother's 517 name 8034 also was Jecoliah 3203 of Jerusalem 3389.
4 And he did 6213 that which was right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, according to all that his father 1 Amaziah 558 did 6213.
5 And he sought 1875 God 430 in the days 3117 of Zechariah 2148, who had understanding 995 in the visions 7200 of God 430: and as long as 3117 he sought 1875 the LORD 3068, God 430 made him to prosper 6743.
6 And he went forth 3318 and warred 3898 against the Philistines 6430, and brake down 6555 the wall 2346 of Gath 1661, and the wall 2346 of Jabneh 2996, and the wall 2346 of Ashdod 795, and built 1129 cities 5892 about Ashdod 795, and among the Philistines 6430.
7 And God 430 helped 5826 him against the Philistines 6430, and against the Arabians 6163 that dwelt 3427 in Gurbaal 1485, and the Mehunims 4586.
8 And the Ammonites 5984 gave 5414 gifts 4503 to Uzziah 5818: and his name 8034 spread abroad 3212 even to the entering 935 in of Egypt 4714; for he strengthened 2388 himself exceedingly 4605.
9 Moreover Uzziah 5818 built 1129 towers 4026 in Jerusalem 3389 at the corner 6438 gate 8179, and at the valley 1516 gate 8179, and at the turning 4740 of the wall, and fortified 2388 them.
10 Also he built 1129 towers 4026 in the desert 4057, and digged 2672 many 7227 wells 953: for he had much 7227 cattle 4735, both in the low country 8219, and in the plains 4334: husbandmen 406 also, and vine dressers 3755 in the mountains 2022, and in Carmel 3760: for he loved 157 husbandry 127.
11 Moreover Uzziah 5818 had an host 2428 of fighting 4421 men 6213, that went out 3318 to war 6635 by bands 1416, according to the number 4557 of their account 6486 by the hand 3027 of Jeiel 3273 the scribe 5608 and Maaseiah 4641 the ruler 7860, under the hand 3027 of Hananiah 2608, one of the king's 4428 captains 8269.
12 The whole number 4557 of the chief 7218 of the fathers 1 of the mighty men 1368 of valour 2428 were two thousand 505 and six 8337 hundred 3967.
13 And under their hand 3027 was an army 2428 6635, three 7969 hundred 3967 thousand 505 and seven 7651 thousand 505 and five 2568 hundred 3967, that made 6213 war 4421 with mighty 2428 power 3581, to help 5826 the king 4428 against the enemy 341.
14 And Uzziah 5818 prepared 3559 for them throughout all the host 6635 shields 4043, and spears 7420, and helmets 3553, and habergeons 8302, and bows 7198, and slings 7050 to cast stones 68.
15 And he made 6213 in Jerusalem 3389 engines 2810, invented 4284 by cunning men 2803, to be on the towers 4026 and upon the bulwarks 6438, to shoot 3384 arrows 2671 and great 1419 stones 68 withal. And his name 8034 spread 3318 far abroad 7350; for he was marvellously 6381 helped 5826, till 3588 he was strong 2388.
16 But when he was strong 2393, his heart 3820 was lifted up 1361 to his destruction 7843: for he transgressed 4603 against the LORD 3068 his God 430, and went 935 into the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068 to burn incense 6999 upon the altar 4196 of incense 7004.
17 And Azariah 5838 the priest 3548 went in 935 after 310 him, and with him fourscore 8084 priests 3548 of the LORD 3068, that were valiant 2428 men 1121:
18 And they withstood 5975 Uzziah 5818 the king 4428, and said 559 unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah 5818, to burn incense 6999 unto the LORD 3068, but to the priests 3548 the sons 1121 of Aaron 175, that are consecrated 6942 to burn incense 6999: go out 3318 of the sanctuary 4720; for thou hast trespassed 4603; neither shall it be for thine honour 3519 from the LORD 3068 God 430.
19 Then Uzziah 5818 was wroth 2196, and had a censer 4730 in his hand 3027 to burn incense 6999: and while he was wroth 2196 with the priests 3548, the leprosy 6883 even rose up 2224 in his forehead 4696 before 6440 the priests 3548 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, from beside the incense 7004 altar 4196.
20 And Azariah 5838 the chief 7218 priest 3548, and all the priests 3548, looked 6437 upon him, and, behold, he was leprous 6879 in his forehead 4696, and they thrust him out 926 from thence; yea, himself hasted 1765 also to go out 3318, because the LORD 3068 had smitten 5060 him.
21 And Uzziah 5818 the king 4428 was a leper 6879 unto the day 3117 of his death 4194, and dwelt in 3427 a several 2669 2669 house 1004, being a leper 6879; for he was cut off 1504 from the house 1004 of the LORD 3068: and Jotham 3147 his son 1121 was over the king's 4428 house 1004, judging 8199 the people 5971 of the land 776.
22 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Uzziah 5818, first 7223 and last 314, did Isaiah 3470 the prophet 5030, the son 1121 of Amoz 531, write 3789.
23 So Uzziah 5818 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and they buried 6912 him with his fathers 1 in the field 7704 of the burial 6900 which belonged to the kings 4428; for they said 559, He is a leper 6879: and Jotham 3147 his son 1121 reigned 4427 in his stead.
