2 Chronicles 26:11
Compare all
9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the aCorner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the corner buttress of the wall; then he fortified them.  
10 Also he built towers in the desert. He dug many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains; he also had farmers and vinedressers in the mountains and in1 Carmel, for he loved the soil.  
11 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by companies, according to the number on their roll as prepared by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.
12 The total number of1 chief officers of the mighty men of valor was two thousand six hundred.  
13 And under their authority was an army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 Then Uzziah prepared for them, for the entire army, shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slings to cast stones.
15 And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by askillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.  

The Penalty for Uzziah’s Pride

16 But awhen he was strong his heart was blifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the Lord his God cby entering the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense.  
17 So aAzariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the Lord—valiant men.  
18 And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, “It ais not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the bpriests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the Lord God.”
