2 Chronicles 26:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 26:8

And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah
As tributaries to him, or; however, as desirous to live in friendship with him:

and his name spread abroad, even to the entering in of Egypt;
so far he carried his arms, and conquered the countries that lay between Palestine and Egypt:

for he strengthened himself exceedingly;
his kingdom and its coasts from the force of enemies.

9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at Corner Wall, Valley Gate, and the Angle, and he reinforced them.
