2 Chronicles 26:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ Uzziah prepared for all the army shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones to sling.

¹⁵ In Jerusalem he made machines invented by skillful men to be on the towers and the [corner] bulwarks, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. And his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped till he was strong.

¹⁶ But when [King Uzziah] was strong, he became proud to his destruction; and he trespassed against the Lord his God, for he went ^[a]into the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense.
