2 Chronicles 26:13-16 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹³And under their hand was a ¹mighty army of ^a307,500, who could wage war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. ¹⁴Moreover, Uzziah prepared ¹for all the army shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and stones for slings. ¹⁵In Jerusalem he also made devices of war devised by skillful designers to be on the towers and on the corners for the purpose of shooting arrows and great stones. Hence his ¹fame spread afar, for he was marvelously helped until he was strong.

Uzziah’s Pride

¹⁶But ^awhen he became strong, his heart was so ¹proud that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to Yahweh his God. And ^bhe entered the temple of Yahweh to burn incense on the altar of incense.
