2He built Eloth and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers. הוּא בָּנָה אֶת־אֵילֹות וַיְשִׁיבֶהָ לִיהוּדָה אַחֲרֵי שְׁכַב־הַמֶּלֶךְ עִם־אֲבֹתָיו׃ ף
3Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. בֶּן־שֵׁשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה עֻזִּיָּהוּ בְמָלְכֹו וַחֲמִשִּׁים וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם וְשֵׁם אִמֹּו כ= יְכִילְיָה ק= יְכָלְיָה מִן־יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃
4And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה אֲמַצְיָהוּ אָבִיו׃
5He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God; and as long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper. וַיְהִי לִדְרֹשׁ אֱלֹהִים בִּימֵי זְכַרְיָהוּ הַמֵּבִין בִּרְאֹת הָאֱלֹהִים וּבִימֵי דָּרְשֹׁו אֶת־יְהוָה הִצְלִיחֹו הָאֱלֹהִים׃ ס
6He went out and made war against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the territory of Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines. וַיֵּצֵא וַיִּלָּחֶם בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיִּפְרֹץ אֶת־חֹומַת גַּת וְאֵת חֹומַת יַבְנֵה וְאֵת חֹומַת אַשְׁדֹּוד וַיִּבְנֶה עָרִים בְּאַשְׁדֹּוד וּבַפְּלִשְׁתִּים׃
7God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabs that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites. וַיַּעְזְרֵהוּ הָאֱלֹהִים עַל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְעַל־כ= הָעַרְבִיִּים ק= הָעַרְבִים הַיֹּשְׁבִים בְּגוּר־בָּעַל וְהַמְּעוּנִים׃
8The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread even to the border of Egypt, for he became very strong. וַיִּתְּנוּ הָעַמֹּונִים מִנְחָה לְעֻזִּיָּהוּ וַיֵּלֶךְ שְׁמֹו עַד־לְבֹוא מִצְרַיִם כִּי הֶחֱזִיק עַד־לְמָעְלָה׃
9Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and at the Valley Gate and at the Angle, and fortified them. וַיִּבֶן עֻזִּיָּהוּ מִגְדָּלִים בִּירוּשָׁלִַם עַל־שַׁעַר הַפִּנָּה וְעַל־שַׁעַר הַגַּיְא וְעַל־הַמִּקְצֹועַ וַיְחַזְּקֵם׃
10And he built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had large herds, both in the Shephelah and in the plain, and he had farmers and vinedressers in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil. וַיִּבֶן מִגְדָּלִים בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיַּחְצֹב בֹּרֹות רַבִּים כִּי מִקְנֶה־רַּב הָיָה לֹו וּבַשְּׁפֵלָה וּבַמִּישֹׁור אִכָּרִים וְכֹרְמִים בֶּהָרִים וּבַכַּרְמֶל כִּי־אֹהֵב אֲדָמָה הָיָה׃ ס
11Moreover Uzziah had an army of soldiers, fit for war, in divisions according to the numbers in the muster made by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the officer, under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders. וַיְהִי לְעֻזִּיָּהוּ חַיִל עֹשֵׂה מִלְחָמָה יֹוצְאֵי צָבָא לִגְדוּד בְּמִסְפַּר פְּקֻדָּתָם בְּיַד כ= יְעוּאֵל ק= יְעִיאֵל הַסֹּופֵר וּמַעֲשֵׂיָהוּ הַשֹּׁוטֵר עַל יַד־חֲנַנְיָהוּ מִשָּׂרֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃
12The whole number of the heads of fathers' houses of mighty men of valor was two thousand six hundred. כֹּל מִסְפַּר רָאשֵׁי הָאָבֹות לְגִבֹּורֵי חָיִל אַלְפַּיִם וְשֵׁשׁ מֵאֹות׃
13Under their command was an army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who could make war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. וְעַל־יָדָם חֵיל צָבָא שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאֹות אֶלֶף וְשִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וַחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֹות עֹושֵׂי מִלְחָמָה בְּכֹחַ חָיִל לַעְזֹר לַמֶּלֶךְ עַל־הָאֹויֵב׃
14And Uzziah prepared for all the army shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging. וַיָּכֶן לָהֶם עֻזִּיָּהוּ לְכָל־הַצָּבָא מָגִנִּים וּרְמָחִים וְכֹובָעִים וְשִׁרְיֹנֹות וּקְשָׁתֹות וּלְאַבְנֵי קְלָעִים׃
15In Jerusalem he made engines, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones. And his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong. וַיַּעַשׂ בִּירוּשָׁלִַם חִשְּׁבֹנֹות מַחֲשֶׁבֶת חֹושֵׁב לִהְיֹות עַל־הַמִּגְדָּלִים וְעַל־הַפִּנֹּות לִירֹוא בַּחִצִּים וּבָאֲבָנִים גְּדֹלֹות וַיֵּצֵא שְׁמֹו עַד־לְמֵרָחֹוק כִּי־הִפְלִיא לְהֵעָזֵר עַד כִּי־חָזָק׃

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
