His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem. 2Ki 15:2-3Amo 1:1Hos 1:1Isa 1:1Isa 6:1Zec 14:5 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 2Ch 25:2 He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper. 2Ch 15:22Ch 24:21Ch 22:13Dan 5:16Gen 41:382Ch 25:8Dan 1:17Dan 10:1
He went out and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and among the Philistines. Isa 14:291Ch 18:11Sa 5:11Sa 5:62Ch 21:162Sa 8:1 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim. 2Ch 21:161Ch 5:20Act 26:221Ch 12:182Ch 14:112Ch 17:112Ch 20:1Isa 14:29 The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong. 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, at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them. Neh 3:132Ch 25:232Ki 14:13Jer 31:38Neh 2:13Neh 2:15Neh 3:19-20Neh 3:24 He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains. He had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming. Gen 26:18-21Isa 29:171Ch 27:26-312Ki 19:232Ki 3:4 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains. 2Ki 5:2 The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand six hundred. Under their hand was an army, three hundred seven thousand five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. 2Ch 11:12Ch 13:32Ch 14:82Ch 17:14-192Ch 25:5 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging. 1Sa 17:49Jdg 20:16 In Jerusalem, he made devices, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad, because he was marvelously helped until he was strong. Exo 31:4Mat 4:242Ch 2:142Ch 2:7
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly and he trespassed against the LORD his God, for he went into the LORD’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense. 2Ch 32:252Ch 25:19Hab 2:4Pro 16:18Deu 8:14Deu 8:17Col 2:181Ki 12:33 Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, who were valiant men. 1Ch 6:101Ch 12:281Ch 26:6 They resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed. It will not be for your honor 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 angry. He had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the LORD’s house, beside the altar of incense. Num 12:102Ch 25:162Ki 5:25-272Ch 16:10 Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead; and they thrust him out quickly from there. Indeed, he himself also hurried to go out, because the LORD had struck him. Deu 28:22Deu 28:35Est 6:12Lev 14:34 Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the LORD’s house. Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land. Lev 13:462Ki 15:5-72Ki 7:3Num 12:15Num 5:2-3
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote. 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 burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham his son reigned in his place. 2Ch 21:202Ch 28:272Ch 26:182Ch 33:202Ki 15:6-7Isa 6:1
