Chapter 26 Then all the people of Judah
took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old,

00:06.160 --> 00:08.640
and made him king in the room of his
father Amaziah.

00:09.120 --> 00:11.600
He built Eloth and restored it to Judah.

00:12.160 --> 00:13.980
After that, the king slept with his
fathers.

00:15.200 --> 00:19.380
Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began
to reign, and he reigned fifty and two

00:19.380 --> 00:20.220
years in Jerusalem.

00:21.460 --> 00:26.360
His mother's name also was Jecholiah of
Jerusalem, and he did that which was right

00:26.360 --> 00:29.780
in the sight of the Lord, according to all
that his father Amaziah did.

00:30.000 --> 00:33.680
And he sought God in the days of
Zechariah, who had understanding in the

00:33.680 --> 00:34.460
visions of God.

00:35.080 --> 00:38.180
And as long as he sought the Lord,
God made him to prosper.

00:38.960 --> 00:42.960
And he went forth and warred against the
Philistines, and broke down the wall of

00:42.960 --> 00:48.080
Gath, and the wall of Jabnah, and the wall
of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod,

00:48.500 --> 00:49.540
and among the Philistines.

00:50.040 --> 00:53.720
And God helped him against the
Philistines, and against the Arabians that

00:53.720 --> 00:58.240
dwelt in Gobail, and the Mahunim,
and the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah.

00:58.240 --> 01:02.980
And his name spread abroad, even to the
entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened

01:02.980 --> 01:04.020
himself exceedingly.

01:05.460 --> 01:09.120
Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem
at the corner gate, and at the valley

01:09.120 --> 01:12.100
gate, and at the turning of the wall,
and fortified them.

01:12.560 --> 01:15.540
Also he built towers in the desert,
and digged many wells.

01:16.280 --> 01:20.520
For he had much cattle, both in the low
country and in the plains, husbandmen

01:20.520 --> 01:25.800
also, and vinedressers in the mountains,
and in Carmel, for he loved husbandry.

01:26.400 --> 01:30.600
Moreover, Uzziah had an host of fighting
men, that went out to war by bands,

01:30.860 --> 01:34.400
according to the number of their account,
by the hand of Jeiel, the scribe,

01:34.780 --> 01:38.900
and Maaseah, the ruler, under the hand of
Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

01:39.660 --> 01:42.860
The whole number of the chief of the
fathers of the mighty men of Valah were

01:42.860 --> 01:50.620
2,600, and under their hand was an army,
300,000 and 7,500, that made war with

01:50.620 --> 01:53.240
mighty power, to help the king against the
enemy.

01:53.820 --> 01:57.780
And Uzziah prepared for them throughout
all the host, shields, and spears,

01:57.960 --> 02:02.040
and helmets, and habogens, and bows,
and slings to cast stones.

02:02.460 --> 02:06.740
And he made in Jerusalem engines,
invented by cunning men, to be on the

02:06.740 --> 02:10.300
towers and upon the bullocks, to shoot
arrows and great stones withal.

02:10.980 --> 02:14.540
And his name spread far abroad,
for he was marvelously helped,

02:14.980 --> 02:15.900
till he was strong.

02:16.760 --> 02:21.080
But when he was strong, his heart was
lifted up to his destruction, for he

02:21.080 --> 02:24.880
transgressed against the Lord his God,
and went into the temple of the Lord to

02:24.880 --> 02:26.820
burn incense upon the altar of incense.

02:27.520 --> 02:32.100
And Azariah the priest went in after him,
and with him fourscore priests of the Lord

02:32.100 --> 02:33.100
that were valiant men.

02:33.600 --> 02:37.580
And they withstood Uzziah the king,
and said unto him, It appertaineth not

02:37.580 --> 02:43.380
unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto
the Lord, but to the priests, the sons of

02:43.380 --> 02:46.360
Aaron, that are consecrated to burn
incense.

02:46.980 --> 02:52.240
Go out of the sanctuary, for thou hast
trespassed, neither shall it be for thine

02:52.240 --> 02:53.960
honour from the Lord God.

02:54.380 --> 02:58.180
Then Uzziah was wroth and had a censer in
his hand to burn incense.

02:58.600 --> 03:02.980
And while he was wroth with the priests,
the leprosy even rose up in his forehead

03:02.980 --> 03:06.540
before the priests in the house of the
Lord from beside the incense altar.

03:07.220 --> 03:12.140
And Azariah the chief priest and all the
priests looked upon him, and behold,

03:12.580 --> 03:13.840
he was leprous in his forehead.

03:13.840 --> 03:16.000
And they thrust him out from thence.

03:16.980 --> 03:20.860
Yea, himself hasted also to go out,
because the Lord had smitten him.

03:21.600 --> 03:25.360
And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the
day of his death, and dwelt in a several

03:25.360 --> 03:28.800
house, being a leper, for he was cut off
from the house of the Lord.

03:29.400 --> 03:33.420
And Jotham his son was over at the king's
house, judging the people of the land.

03:34.320 --> 03:38.440
Now the rest of the act of Uzziah,
first and last, did Isaiah the prophet,

03:38.780 --> 03:39.800
the son of Amoz, write.

03:40.320 --> 03:44.580
So Uzziah slept with his fathers,
and they buried him with his fathers in

03:44.580 --> 03:46.780
the field of the burial which belonged to
the kings.

03:47.180 --> 03:48.840
For they said, He is a leper.

03:49.020 --> 03:51.200
And Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
