The Second Book of Chronicles, Chapter 26דברי הימים ב 26

וַיִּקְח֞וּ כָּל עַ֤ם יְהוּדָה֙ אֶת עֻזִּיָּ֔הוּ וְה֕וּא בֶּן שֵׁ֥שׁ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה שָׁנָ֑ה וַיַּמְלִ֣יכוּ אֹת֔וֹ תַּ֖חַת אָבִ֥יו אֲמַצְיָֽהוּ

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

ה֚וּא בָּנָ֣ה אֶת אֵיל֔וֹת וַיְשִׁיבֶ֖הָ לִֽיהוּדָ֑ה אַחֲרֵ֥י שְׁכַֽב הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ עִם אֲבֹתָֽיו

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

בֶּן שֵׁ֨שׁ עֶשְׂרֵ֤ה שָׁנָה֙ עֻזִּיָּ֣הוּ בְמָלְכ֔וֹ וַחֲמִשִּׁ֤ים וּשְׁתַּ֨יִם֙ שָׁנָ֔ה מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ יכיליה יְכָלְיָ֖ה מִן יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם

Sixteen years old Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

וַיַּ֥עַשׂ הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כְּכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂ֖ה אֲמַצְיָ֥הוּ אָבִֽיו

And he did right in the sight of YHWH, according to all that his father Amaziah did.

וַיְהִי֙ לִדְרֹ֣שׁ אֱלֹהִ֔ים בִּימֵ֣י זְכַרְיָ֔הוּ הַמֵּבִ֖ין בִּרְאֹ֣ת הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבִימֵי֙ דָּרְשׁ֣וֹ אֶת יְהוָ֔ה הִצְלִיח֖וֹ הָאֱלֹהִֽים

And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought YHWH, God made him to prosper.

וַיֵּצֵא֙ וַיִּלָּ֣חֶם בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וַיִּפְרֹ֞ץ אֶת ח֣וֹמַת גַּ֗ת וְאֵת֙ חוֹמַ֣ת יַבְנֵ֔ה וְאֵ֖ת חוֹמַ֣ת אַשְׁדּ֑וֹד וַיִּבְנֶ֣ה עָרִ֔ים בְּאַשְׁדּ֖וֹד וּבַפְּלִשְׁתִּֽים

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.

וַיַּעְזְרֵ֨הוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֜ים עַל פְּלִשְׁתִּ֧ים וְעַל הערביים הָֽעַרְבִ֛ים הַיֹּשְׁבִ֥ים בְּגוּר בָּ֖עַל וְהַמְּעוּנִֽים

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

וַיִּתְּנ֧וּ הָֽעַמּוֹנִ֛ים מִנְחָ֖ה לְעֻזִּיָּ֑הוּ וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ שְׁמוֹ֙ עַד לְב֣וֹא מִצְרַ֔יִם כִּ֥י הֶחֱזִ֖יק עַד לְמָֽעְלָה

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

וַיִּ֨בֶן עֻזִּיָּ֤הוּ מִגְדָּלִים֙ בִּיר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם עַל שַׁ֧עַר הַפִּנָּ֛ה וְעַל שַׁ֥עַר הַגַּ֖יְא וְעַל הַמִּקְצ֑וֹעַ וַֽיְחַזְּקֵֽם

Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning , and fortified them.

וַיִּ֨בֶן מִגְדָּלִ֜ים בַּמִּדְבָּ֗ר וַיַּחְצֹב֙ בֹּר֣וֹת רַבִּ֔ים כִּ֤י מִקְנֶה רַּב֙ הָ֣יָה ל֔וֹ וּבַשְּׁפֵלָ֖ה וּבַמִּישׁ֑וֹר אִכָּרִ֣ים וְכֹֽרְמִ֗ים בֶּהָרִים֙ וּבַכַּרְמֶ֔ל כִּֽי אֹהֵ֥ב אֲדָמָ֖ה הָיָֽה

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 , and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.

וַיְהִ֣י לְעֻזִּיָּ֡הוּ חַיִל֩ עֹשֵׂ֨ה מִלְחָמָ֜ה יוֹצְאֵ֧י צָבָ֣א לִגְד֗וּד בְּמִסְפַּר֙ פְּקֻדָּתָ֔ם בְּיַד֙ יעואל יְעִיאֵ֣ל הַסּוֹפֵ֔ר וּמַעֲשֵׂיָ֖הוּ הַשּׁוֹטֵ֑ר עַ֚ל יַד חֲנַנְיָ֔הוּ מִשָּׂרֵ֖י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ

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, of the king's captains.

כֹּ֠ל מִסְפַּ֞ר רָאשֵׁ֤י הָאָבוֹת֙ לְגִבּ֣וֹרֵי חָ֔יִל אַלְפַּ֖יִם וְשֵׁ֥שׁ מֵאֽוֹת

The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour two thousand and six hundred.

וְעַל יָדָם֩ חֵ֨יל צָבָ֜א שְׁלֹ֧שׁ מֵא֣וֹת אֶ֗לֶף וְשִׁבְעַ֤ת אֲלָפִים֙ וַחֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵא֔וֹת עוֹשֵׂ֥י מִלְחָמָ֖ה בְּכֹ֣חַ חָ֑יִל לַעְזֹ֥ר לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ עַל הָאוֹיֵֽב

And under their hand an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.

וַיָּכֶן֩ לָהֶ֨ם עֻזִּיָּ֜הוּ לְכָל הַצָּבָ֗א מָגִנִּ֤ים וּרְמָחִים֙ וְכ֣וֹבָעִ֔ים וְשִׁרְיֹנ֖וֹת וּקְשָׁת֑וֹת וּלְאַבְנֵ֖י קְלָעִֽים

And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings stones.

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֨ם חִשְּׁבֹנ֜וֹת מַחֲשֶׁ֣בֶת חוֹשֵׁ֗ב לִהְי֤וֹת עַל הַמִּגְדָּלִים֙ וְעַל הַפִּנּ֔וֹת לִירוֹא֙ בַּֽחִצִּ֔ים וּבָאֲבָנִ֖ים גְּדֹל֑וֹת וַיֵּצֵ֤א שְׁמוֹ֙ עַד לְמֵ֣רָח֔וֹק כִּֽי הִפְלִ֥יא לְהֵעָזֵ֖ר עַ֥ד כִּֽי חָזָֽק

And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

וּכְחֶזְקָת֗וֹ גָּבַ֤הּ לִבּוֹ֙ עַד לְהַשְׁחִ֔ית וַיִּמְעַ֖ל בַּיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יו וַיָּבֹא֙ אֶל הֵיכַ֣ל יְהוָ֔ה לְהַקְטִ֖יר עַל מִזְבַּ֥ח הַקְּטֹֽרֶת

But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to destruction: for he transgressed against YHWH his God, and went into the temple of YHWH to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

וַיָּבֹ֥א אַחֲרָ֖יו עֲזַרְיָ֣הוּ הַכֹּהֵ֑ן וְעִמּ֞וֹ כֹּהֲנִ֧ים לַיהוָ֛ה שְׁמוֹנִ֖ים בְּנֵי חָֽיִל

And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of YHWH, valiant men:

וַיַּעַמְד֞וּ עַל עֻזִּיָּ֣הוּ הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ וַיֹּ֤אמְרוּ לוֹ֙ לֹא לְךָ֣ עֻזִּיָּ֗הוּ לְהַקְטִיר֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה כִּ֣י לַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹ֛ן הַמְקֻדָּשִׁ֖ים לְהַקְטִ֑יר צֵ֤א מִן הַמִּקְדָּשׁ֙ כִּ֣י מָעַ֔לְתָּ וְלֹֽא לְךָ֥ לְכָב֖וֹד מֵיְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִֽים

And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, not to you, Uzziah, to burn incense to YHWH, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither for your honour from YHWH God.

וַיִּזְעַף֙ עֻזִּיָּ֔הוּ וּבְיָד֥וֹ מִקְטֶ֖רֶת לְהַקְטִ֑יר וּבְזַעְפּ֣וֹ עִם הַכֹּהֲנִ֗ים וְ֠הַצָּרַעַת זָרְחָ֨ה בְמִצְח֜וֹ לִפְנֵ֤י הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה מֵעַ֖ל לְמִזְבַּ֥ח הַקְּטֹֽרֶת

Then Uzziah was wroth, and a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of YHWH, from beside the incense altar.

וַיִּ֣פֶן אֵלָ֡יו עֲזַרְיָהוּ֩ כֹהֵ֨ן הָרֹ֜אשׁ וְכָל הַכֹּהֲנִ֗ים וְהִנֵּה ה֤וּא מְצֹרָע֙ בְּמִצְח֔וֹ וַיַּבְהִל֖וּהוּ מִשָּׁ֑ם וְגַם הוּא֙ נִדְחַ֣ף לָצֵ֔את כִּ֥י נִגְּע֖וֹ יְהוָֽה

And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because YHWH had smitten him.

וַיְהִי֩ עֻזִּיָּ֨הוּ הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ מְצֹרָ֣ע עַד י֣וֹם מוֹת֗וֹ וַיֵּ֜שֶׁב בֵּ֤ית החפשות הַֽחָפְשִׁית֙ מְצֹרָ֔ע כִּ֥י נִגְזַ֖ר מִבֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וְיוֹתָ֤ם בְּנוֹ֙ עַל בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ שׁוֹפֵ֖ט אֶת עַ֥ם הָאָֽרֶץ

And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, a leper; for he was cut off from the house of YHWH: and Jotham his son over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

וְיֶ֨תֶר֙ דִּבְרֵ֣י עֻזִּיָּ֔הוּ הָרִאשֹׁנִ֖ים וְהָאֲחֲרֹנִ֑ים כָּתַ֛ב יְשַֽׁעְיָ֥הוּ בֶן אָמ֖וֹץ הַנָּבִֽיא

Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.

וַיִּשְׁכַּ֨ב עֻזִּיָּ֜הוּ עִם אֲבֹתָ֗יו וַיִּקְבְּר֨וּ אֹת֤וֹ עִם אֲבֹתָיו֙ בִּשְׂדֵ֤ה הַקְּבוּרָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לַמְּלָכִ֔ים כִּ֥י אָמְר֖וּ מְצוֹרָ֣ע ה֑וּא וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ יוֹתָ֥ם בְּנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו

So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which to the kings; for they said, He a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
