New English Translation
14 Uzziah supplied shields, spears, helmets, breastplates, bows, and slingstones for the entire army. 15 In Jerusalem he made war machines carefully designed to shoot arrows and large stones from the towers and corners of the walls. He became very famous, for he received tremendous support and became powerful.[a]
16 But once he became powerful, his pride destroyed him.[b] He disobeyed[c] the Lord his God. He entered the Lord’s temple to offer incense on the incense altar.
