2 Chronicles 27:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord in everything, as his father Uzziah had done, but he did not go into the temple of the Lord as Uzziah had done. The people, however, still followed corrupt practices.

³ He built the upper gate of the House of the Lord. He also carried out extensive construction work on the wall of Ophel. ⁴ He also built cities in the hill country of Judah. On the wooded hills he built forts and towers.
