2 Chronicles 26:1-15
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.
The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful. Under their command was an army of 307,500 men trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies. Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, coats of armor, bows and sling stones for the entire army.
The Chronicler describes the good and the bad in Uzziah's reign as he has already done with Asa and Joash.
A strong king, Uzziah begins well, seeking God and extending his sovereignty as far south as the Red Sea. He loves the land and protects the cattle from desert raiders. He sees that his army is well-equipped and armed with the latest in guided missiles.
Why?
Uzziah's mother effected him did the right. He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God.m so his kingdom became strong.
Everything looks good and wide territory in the land and army with the well-equipped weapons.
Higher position and prosper situation may lead people to downfall for proud raised.
神的應許往往比我們想的更多更好,神為我們擴張境界。包括屬天的,永恆的。如烏西亞王征服非立士人領土。
有能力製作武器的能力,因為他得了非常的幫助,是神的祝福。
How?
Praise the Lord for all I have and living, for the grace of the Lord is come upon me.
