2 Chronicles 27:2-4

Living Bible

² He followed the generally good example of his father, Uzziah—who had, however, sinned by invading the Temple—but even so his people became very corrupt.

³ He built the Upper Gate of the Temple and also did extensive rebuilding of the walls on the hill where the Temple was situated. ⁴ And he built cities in the hill country of Judah and erected fortresses and towers on the wooded hills.
