2 Chronicles 26:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 Under their direction was an army of (A)307,500, who could wage war with great power, to help the king against the enemy. 14 Moreover, Uzziah prepared [a]for all the army shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slingstones. 15 In Jerusalem he made machines of war invented by skillful workmen to be on the towers and the corners, for the purpose of shooting arrows and great stones. So his [b]fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped until he was strong.
Pride Is Uzziah’s Undoing
16 But (B)when he became strong, his heart was so [c]proud that he acted corruptly, and he was untrue to the Lord his God, for (C)he entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense.
