Tree Of Life Version

2 Chronicles 26:12-18 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

12. The total number of family leaders over the fighting men was 2,600,

13. and under their command was an army of 307,500 trained for war with mighty power to support the king against the enemy.

14. Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows and slingstones for the entire army.

15. In Jerusalem he made machines designed by skillful men to be used on the towers and on the corners to shoot arrows and hurl large stones. So his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped until he became strong.

16. But when he became strong, his heart grew so haughty that he acted corruptly. For he trespassed against Adonai his God by entering into the Temple of Adonai to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

17. Then Azariah the kohen with 80 valiant kohanim of Adonai followed him in.

18. They opposed Uzziah the king and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Adonai, but for the kohanim, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the Sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully. You will have no honor from Adonai Elohim.”
