14:025:026 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold,
           are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and
           Israel?

14:025:027 Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following
           the lord they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and
           he fled to Lachish:  but they sent to Lachish after him, and
           slew him there.

14:025:028 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his
           fathers in the city of Judah.

14:026:001 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen
           years old, and made him king in the room of his father
           Amaziah.

14:026:002 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king
           slept with his fathers.

14:026:003 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.

14:026:004 And he did that which was right in the sight of the lord,
           according to all that his father Amaziah did.

14:026:005 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.

14:026:006 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.

14:026:007 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the
           Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.

14:026:008 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah:  and his name spread
           abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened
           himself exceedingly.

14:026:009 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.

14:026:010 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.

14:026:011 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.

14:026:012 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men
           of valour were two thousand and six hundred.

14:026:013 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.
