2 Chronicles 26:4-11

Rotherham(i) 4 And he did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh,––according to all that Amaziah his father had done. 5 And it came to pass that he set himself to seek God, in the days of Zechariah, who gave understanding in the seeing of God,––and, throughout the days of his seeking Yahweh, God, prospered him. 6 So he went forth and made war against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod,––and built cities in Ashdod, and among the Philistines. 7 And God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabians who dwelt in Gur–baal, and the Meunim. 8 And the Ammonites gave a present to Uzziah,––and his name went forth as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he shewed exceeding great strength. 9 And Uzziah built towers, in Jerusalem, over the corner–gate, and over the valley–gate, and over the angle,––and he made them strong. 10 And he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells, for, much cattle, had he, both in the lowland, and in the plain,––husbandmen and vinedressers, in the mountains and in the fruitful field, for, a lover of the soil, was he. 11 And it came to pass that Uzziah had a force ready to make war, to go forth as a host in company, by the number of their reckoning, under the direction of Jeiel the scribe, and Maaseiah the officer,––under the direction of Hananiah, from among the captains of the king.
