Young's Literal Translation
All the people of Judah took
Uzziah ,
who
was
sixteen years old
, and made
him king
in
place
of his father Amaziah.
And
all the people of Judah take
Uzziah (and
he
`is'
a
son
of
sixteen years )
, and cause
him to
reign
instead
of his father Amaziah.
Uzziah
was
the
one
who
rebuilt
Eloth and restored
it to Judah after King
Amaziah
rested
with his fathers.
He
hath
built
Eloth ,
and restoreth
it to Judah after the
king's
lying
with his fathers.
Uzziah
was
sixteen years old
when
he
became
king
, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two
years.
His
mother’s
name was
Jecoliah;
she
was
from
Jerusalem.
A
son
of
sixteen years `is'
Uzziah
in
his
reigning
, and fifty
and
two
years
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ,
and
the
name of
his
mother
`is'
Jecholiah
of
Jerusalem.
And he did
what
was
right in the eyes of the
LORD
, just
as
his father Amaziah
had
done.
And he doth
that
which
is
right in the eyes of Jehovah
, according
to
all
that
Amaziah
his father did,
He sought
God throughout
the days of Zechariah ,
who instructed
him
in the
fear
of God .
And as
long
as
he
sought
the LORD
, God gave
him success
.
and
he is
as
one
seeking
God in
the days of Zechariah who hath
understanding
in visions
of God :
and in
the days
of
his
seeking
Jehovah
, God hath
caused
him to
prosper
.
Uzziah
went
out
to
wage
war
against
the Philistines, and he
tore
down the walls
of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod .
Then
he
built
cities near
Ashdod and among the Philistines.
And
he
goeth
forth,
and
fighteth
with
the Philistines, and breaketh
down the wall
of Gath, and
the
wall
of
Jabneh, and the
wall
of
Ashdod ,
and
buildeth
cities about
Ashdod ,
and among the Philistines.
God helped
him against the Philistines, against the Arabs
living
in Gur-baal ,
and against
the Meunites
.
And
God helpeth
him against the Philistines, and
against the Arabians
who
are
dwelling
in Gur-Baal and the Mehunim
.
The Ammonites brought
tribute
to Uzziah, and his fame
spread
as
far
as
the border
of Egypt, for he had
become
exceedingly
powerful
.
And
the Ammonites give
a
present
to Uzziah, and his name
goeth
unto
the entering
in
of Egypt, for he strengthened
himself
greatly
.
Uzziah built
towers in Jerusalem at
the Corner
Gate, the Valley
Gate, and the angle in
the
wall
, and he
fortified
them .
And
Uzziah buildeth
towers in Jerusalem ,
by
the gate of
the
corner
, and
by
the gate of
the
valley
, and by
the angle, and strengtheneth
them ;
Since
he had much livestock
in the foothills
and in the plain, he
built
towers
in the desert
and
dug
many
cisterns.
And since
he was a lover of the soil,
he
had
farmers
and
vinedressers
in
the
hill
country
and
in
the
fertile
fields
.
and
he buildeth
towers
in
the
wilderness,
and
diggeth
many
wells,
for
he
had much cattle,
both
in the low
country
and in the plain, husbandmen
and
vine-dressers
in the mountains,
and in
Carmel;
for
he was a lover of the ground
.
Uzziah had
an
army
ready
for
battle
that
went
out
to
war by assigned
divisions
, as
recorded
by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah
the officer under
the direction
of Hananiah ,
one of the royal
officers
.
And
Uzziah hath
a
force,
making
war ,
going
forth
to
the
host,
by troops
, in
the
number
of
their
reckoning
by the
hand
of
Jeiel the scribe and Masseiah
the officer ,
by
the hand
of Hananiah `
one '
of the heads
of
the
king
.
The total
number of family
leaders
of the mighty men
of valor
was
2,600.
The whole
number of heads
of the fathers
of
the
mighty ones
of valour
`is'
two
thousand
and
six
hundred;
Under
their authority
was
an
army
of 307
, 500
trained
for
war
, a
powerful
force
to support
the king against his
enemies
.
and
by
their hand
`is'
the
force
of the
host
, three
hundred
thousand
, and
seven
thousand,
and
five
hundred
warriors,
with
mighty
power
to give
help
to
the king against the
enemy
.
Uzziah supplied
the entire
army
with
shields, spears, helmets, armor
, bows, and
slingstones
.
And
Uzziah prepareth
for
them,
for
all
the host,
shields, and
spears, and
helmets, and
coats
of
mail
, and
bows, even
to
stones
of
the
slings
.
And in Jerusalem he
made
skillfully
designed
devices
to shoot arrows and catapult
large
stones from
the
towers
and corners.
So
his fame
spread
far
and
wide
, for he was
helped tremendously
so
that he became
powerful
.
And he
maketh
in Jerusalem inventions
--
a
device
of
an
inventor
--
to be
on
the
towers,
and
on
the
corners,
to
shoot with
arrows and with
great
stones ,
and his name
goeth
out
unto
a
distance
, for he hath
been
wonderfully
helped till
that he hath
been
strong
.
But
when
Uzziah
grew
powerful,
his arrogance
led
to
his own
destruction .
He was
unfaithful
to
the
LORD
his God, for
he
entered
the temple of the
LORD
to burn
incense
on
the altar of incense
.
And
at
his being
strong
his heart
hath
been
high
unto
destruction ,
and
he trespasseth
against
Jehovah
his God, and
goeth
in
unto
the temple of Jehovah
to make
perfume
upon
the altar of perfume
.
Then
Azariah the priest, along
with eighty
brave
priests of the
LORD
, went
in
after
him.
And
Azariah the priest goeth
in
after
him
, and
with him
priests of Jehovah
eighty
, sons
of
valour,
They took
their
stand against King
Uzziah and said
, “
Uzziah, you
have
no
right
to offer
incense
to the
LORD.
Only
the
priests, the
descendants
of Aaron, are consecrated
to burn
incense.
Leave
the sanctuary, for you
have
acted
unfaithfully;
you
will
not receive
honor
from the
LORD
God. ”
and
they stand up
against Uzziah the
king,
and say
to
him
, `Not
for
thee,
O
Uzziah, to make
perfume
to Jehovah,
but
for
priests, sons
of Aaron, who
are sanctified
to make
perfume;
go
forth
from
the sanctuary, for thou
hast
trespassed,
and
`it
is'
not to
thee
for
honour
from Jehovah
God. '
Uzziah, with
a
censer
in his hand to offer
incense
, was
enraged.
But
while
he
raged
against
the priests in their
presence
in the house of the
LORD
before
the altar of incense,
leprosy
broke
out
on
his
forehead
.
And
Uzziah is
wroth
, and
in his hand `is'
a
censer
to make
perfume
, and
in
his
being
wroth
with
the priests --
the
leprosy
hath
risen
in his
forehead,
before
the
priests,
in the house of Jehovah,
from
beside
the altar of perfume
.
When
Azariah the chief
priest and all the priests turned
to
him
and saw
his
leprous forehead, they rushed
him out.
Indeed
, he himself hurried
to get
out, because
the
LORD
had
afflicted
him.
And
Azariah the head
priest looketh
unto
him,
and all the priests ,
and lo,
he
`is'
leprous in
his
forehead, and
they hasten
him thence
, and
also
he himself hath
hastened
to go
out, for
Jehovah
hath
plagued
him.
So
King
Uzziah was
a leper until
the day of his death .
He
lived
in
isolation
, leprous
and cut off from the house of the
LORD
, while
his son Jotham
had
charge
of the royal
palace
to
govern
the people of the land.
And
Uzziah the
king
is
a leper unto
the day of his death, and inhabiteth
a
separate
house
--
a
leper,
for
he
hath
been
cut off from the house of Jehovah
, and
Jotham
his son `is'
over
the
house
of the king,
judging
the people of the land.
As
for
the rest of the acts
of Uzziah, from
beginning
to
end,
they
are
recorded
by
the prophet
Isaiah son of Amoz .
And
the rest of the matters
of Uzziah, the first
and
the
last,
hath
Isaiah son of Amoz the
prophet
written;
And Uzziah rested
with his fathers and was
buried
near
them
in a
field of burial
that belonged
to
the kings ;
for the
people
said, “
He was
a leper .”
And his son Jotham
reigned
in his place
.
and Uzziah lieth
with his fathers ,
and they
bury
him
with
his
fathers,
in the
field of the
burying-place
that the kings have,
for they
said, `
He `is'
a leper ;'
and reign
doth
Jotham
his son in his stead
.
