2 Chronicles 26 (WEBP)

[1] All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
[2] He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
[3] Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
[4] He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
[5] 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 Yahweh, God made him prosper.
[6] 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.
[7] God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
[8] The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
[9] Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
[10] 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.
[11] 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.
[12] The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand six hundred.
[13] 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.
[14] Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
[15] 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.
[16] But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly and he trespassed against Yahweh his God, for he went into Yahweh’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
[17] Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men.
[18] They resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, 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 Yahweh God.”
[19] 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 Yahweh’s house, beside the altar of incense.
[20] 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 Yahweh had struck him.
[21] 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 Yahweh’s house. Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
[22] Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
[23] 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.

2 Chronicles 26 (BYZ)

[1] και ελαβεν πας ο λαος της γης τον οζιαν και αυτος δεκα και εξ ετων και εβασιλευσαν αυτον αντι του πατρος αυτου αμασιου
[2] αυτος ωκοδομησεν την αιλαθ αυτος επεστρεψεν αυτην τω ιουδα μετα το κοιμηθηναι τον βασιλεα μετα των πατερων αυτου
[3] υιος δεκα εξ ετων εβασιλευσεν οζιας και πεντηκοντα και δυο ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου χαλια απο ιερουσαλημ
[4] και εποιησεν το ευθες ενωπιον κυριου κατα παντα οσα εποιησεν αμασιας ο πατηρ αυτου
[5] και ην εκζητων τον κυριον εν ταις ημεραις ζαχαριου του συνιοντος εν φοβω κυριου και εν ταις ημεραις αυτου εζητησεν τον κυριον και ευοδωσεν αυτω κυριος
[6] και εξηλθεν και επολεμησεν προς τους αλλοφυλους και κατεσπασεν τα τειχη γεθ και τα τειχη ιαβνη και τα τειχη αζωτου και ωκοδομησεν πολεις αζωτου και εν τοις αλλοφυλοις
[7] και κατισχυσεν αυτον κυριος επι τους αλλοφυλους και επι τους αραβας τους κατοικουντας επι της πετρας και επι τους μιναιους
[8] και εδωκαν οι μιναιοι δωρα τω οζια και ην το ονομα αυτου εως εισοδου αιγυπτου οτι κατισχυσεν εως ανω
[9] και ωκοδομησεν οζιας πυργους εν ιερουσαλημ και επι την πυλην της γωνιας και επι την πυλην της φαραγγος και επι των γωνιων και κατισχυσεν
[10] και ωκοδομησεν πυργους εν τη ερημω και ελατομησεν λακκους πολλους οτι κτηνη πολλα υπηρχεν αυτω εν σεφηλα και εν τη πεδινη και αμπελουργοι εν τη ορεινη και εν τω καρμηλω οτι φιλογεωργος ην
[11] και εγενετο τω οζια δυναμεις ποιουσαι πολεμον και εκπορευομεναι εις παραταξιν εις αριθμον και ο αριθμος αυτων δια χειρος ιιηλ του γραμματεως και μαασαιου του κριτου δια χειρος ανανιου του διαδοχου του βασιλεως
[12] πας ο αριθμος των πατριαρχων των δυνατων εις πολεμον δισχιλιοι εξακοσιοι
[13] και μετ αυτων δυναμις πολεμικη τριακοσιαι χιλιαδες και επτακισχιλιοι πεντακοσιοι ουτοι οι ποιουντες πολεμον εν δυναμει ισχυος βοηθησαι τω βασιλει επι τους υπεναντιους
[14] και ητοιμαζεν αυτοις οζιας παση τη δυναμει θυρεους και δορατα και περικεφαλαιας και θωρακας και τοξα και σφενδονας εις λιθους
[15] και εποιησεν εν ιερουσαλημ μηχανας μεμηχανευμενας λογιστου του ειναι επι των πυργων και επι των γωνιων βαλλειν βελεσιν και λιθοις μεγαλοις και ηκουσθη η κατασκευη αυτων εως πορρω οτι εθαυμαστωθη του βοηθηθηναι εως ου κατισχυσεν
[16] και ως κατισχυσεν υψωθη η καρδια αυτου του καταφθειραι και ηδικησεν εν κυριω θεω αυτου και εισηλθεν εις τον ναον κυριου θυμιασαι επι το θυσιαστηριον των θυμιαματων
[17] και εισηλθεν οπισω αυτου αζαριας ο ιερευς και μετ αυτου ιερεις του κυριου ογδοηκοντα υιοι δυνατοι
[18] και εστησαν επι οζιαν τον βασιλεα και ειπαν αυτω ου σοι οζια θυμιασαι τω κυριω αλλ η τοις ιερευσιν υιοις ααρων τοις ηγιασμενοις θυμιασαι εξελθε εκ του αγιασματος οτι απεστης απο κυριου και ουκ εσται σοι τουτο εις δοξαν παρα κυριου θεου
[19] και εθυμωθη οζιας και εν τη χειρι αυτου το θυμιατηριον του θυμιασαι εν τω ναω και εν τω θυμωθηναι αυτον προς τους ιερεις και η λεπρα ανετειλεν εν τω μετωπω αυτου εναντιον των ιερεων εν οικω κυριου επανω του θυσιαστηριου των θυμιαματων
[20] και επεστρεψεν επ αυτον ο ιερευς ο πρωτος και οι ιερεις και ιδου αυτος λεπρος εν τω μετωπω και κατεσπευσαν αυτον εκειθεν και γαρ αυτος εσπευσεν εξελθειν οτι ηλεγξεν αυτον κυριος
[21] και ην οζιας ο βασιλευς λεπρος εως ημερας της τελευτης αυτου και εν οικω αφφουσωθ εκαθητο λεπρος οτι απεσχισθη απο οικου κυριου και ιωαθαμ ο υιος αυτου επι της βασιλειας αυτου κρινων τον λαον της γης
[22] και οι λοιποι λογοι οζιου οι πρωτοι και οι εσχατοι γεγραμμενοι υπο ιεσσιου του προφητου
[23] και εκοιμηθη οζιας μετα των πατερων αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον μετα των πατερων αυτου εν τω πεδιω της ταφης των βασιλεων οτι ειπαν οτι λεπρος εστιν και εβασιλευσεν ιωαθαμ υιος αυτου αντ αυτου
