Löydetty 2206 Tulokset: King Uzziah
All the people then chose Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in succession to his father Amaziah. (2 Chronicles 26, 1)
It was he who rebuilt Elath, recovering it for Judah, after the king had fallen asleep with his ancestors. (2 Chronicles 26, 2)
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he came to the throne and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. (2 Chronicles 26, 3)
The Meunites paid tribute to Uzziah and his fame spread as far as the frontier of Egypt, since he kept growing stronger and stronger. (2 Chronicles 26, 8)
Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate and at the Angle, and fortified them. (2 Chronicles 26, 9)
Uzziah had a trained army ready to go on campaign, organised in companies manned as detailed by the scribe Jeiel and the staff-officer Maaseiah, and commanded by Hananiah one of the king's generals. (2 Chronicles 26, 11)
Under them was an army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred men ready for war, a powerful force to support the king against the enemy. (2 Chronicles 26, 13)
Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, armour, bows and sling-stones for the entire army. (2 Chronicles 26, 14)
confronting King Uzziah, they said to him, 'Uzziah, you are not allowed to burn incense to Yahweh; only the Aaronite priests consecrated for the purpose may burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honour from Yahweh God.' (2 Chronicles 26, 18)
Uzziah, censer in hand to burn incense, flew into a rage. But while he was raging at the priests, a virulent skin-disease broke out on his forehead in the presence of the priests, in the Temple of Yahweh, there by the altar of incense. (2 Chronicles 26, 19)
King Uzziah was afflicted with skin-disease till his dying day. Because of this, he lived confined to his room and was excluded from the Temple of Yahweh, while Jotham his son, who was master of the palace, governed the people of the country. (2 Chronicles 26, 21)
The rest of the history of Uzziah, from first to last, has been written by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. (2 Chronicles 26, 22)
