026:010 He built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns,
for he had much livestock; in the lowland also, and in the plain:
[and he had] farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains
and in the fruitful fields; for he loved farming.
026:011 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.
026:012 The whole number of the heads of fathers' [houses], even the mighty
men of valor, was two thousand and six hundred.
026:013 Under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven
thousand and five hundred, who made war with mighty power,
to help the king against the enemy.
026:014 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields,
and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows,
and stones for slinging.
026:015 He made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skillful men,
to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to

and behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him
out quickly from there; yes, himself hurried also to go out,
because Yahweh had struck him.
026:021 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 house of Yahweh: and Jotham his son was over
the king's house, judging the people of the land.
