2 Chronicles 26:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Uzziah gave his army shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows and stones for their slings. ¹⁵ In Jerusalem Uzziah made devices that were invented by clever men. These devices were put on the towers and corners of the city walls. They were used to shoot arrows and large rocks. So Uzziah became famous in faraway places. He had much help until he became powerful.

¹⁶ But when Uzziah became strong, his pride caused him to be destroyed. He was unfaithful to the Lord his God. He went into the Temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar for incense.
