Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah. 1 Mat 1:8-92Ch 22:11Ch 3:122Ch 33:252Ki 14:212Ki 15:1-7 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. 2Ch 25:232Ch 25:282Ch 8:172Ki 14:222Ki 16:6 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 2Ki 15:2-3Amo 1:1Hos 1:1Isa 1:1Isa 6:1Zec 14:5 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did. 2Ch 25:2 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper. 2 2Ch 15:22Ch 24:21Ch 22:13Dan 5:16Gen 41:382Ch 25:8Dan 1:17Dan 10:1 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines. 3 Isa 14:291Ch 18:11Sa 5:11Sa 5:62Ch 21:162Sa 8:1 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims. 2Ch 21:161Ch 5:20Act 26:221Ch 12:182Ch 14:112Ch 17:112Ch 20:1Isa 14:29 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly. 4 2Ch 17:112Sa 8:2Gen 19:381Ki 4:311Sa 11:12Ch 20:12Sa 8:13Deu 2:19 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them. 5 Neh 3:132Ch 25:232Ki 14:13Jer 31:38Neh 2:13Neh 2:15Neh 3:19-20Neh 3:24 Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry. 6 8 7 Gen 26:18-21Isa 29:171Ch 27:26-312Ki 19:232Ki 3:4 Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains. 2Ki 5:2 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred. And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. 9 2Ch 11:12Ch 13:32Ch 14:82Ch 17:14-192Ch 25:5 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones. 10 1Sa 17:49Jdg 20:16 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong. 11 Exo 31:4Mat 4:242Ch 2:142Ch 2:7
¶ But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense. 2Ch 32:252Ch 25:19Hab 2:4Pro 16:18Deu 8:14Deu 8:17Col 2:181Ki 12:33 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men: 1Ch 6:101Ch 12:281Ch 26:6 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God. Exo 30:7-8Num 18:7Heb 5:42Ch 19:2Jer 13:181Co 5:51Sa 2:302Ch 16:7-9 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar. Num 12:102Ch 25:162Ki 5:25-272Ch 16:10 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him. Deu 28:22Deu 28:35Est 6:12Lev 14:34 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land. 12 Lev 13:462Ki 15:5-72Ki 7:3Num 12:15Num 5:2-3
¶ Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write. Isa 1:1Isa 6:12Ch 12:152Ch 9:29 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 2Ch 21:202Ch 28:272Ch 26:182Ch 33:202Ki 15:6-7Isa 6:1
