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.

7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and against the Meunites.

8 Also the Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah. His fame spread as far as the entrance of Egypt, for he became exceedingly strong.

9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the corner buttress of the wall; then he fortified them.

10 Also he built towers in the desert. He dug many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains; he also had farmers and vinedressers in the mountains and in Carmel, for he loved the soil.
