2 Chronicles 26:5-7

New Living Translation

⁵ Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who taught him to fear God.^[a] And as long as the king sought guidance from the Lord, God gave him success.

⁶ Uzziah declared war on the Philistines and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built new towns in the Ashdod area and in other parts of Philistia. ⁷ God helped him in his wars against the Philistines, his battles with the Arabs of Gur,^[b] and his wars with the Meunites.
