11. Moreover, Uzziah had an army ready for battle, which entered combat by divisions according to the number of their muster, prepared by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the official, under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king's officers.
12. The total number of the heads of the households, of valiant warriors, was 2,600.
13. Under their direction was an elite army of 307,500, who could wage war with great power, to help the king against the enemy.
14. Moreover, Uzziah prepared for all the army shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows and sling stones.
15. In Jerusalem he made engines of war invented by skillful men to be on the towers and on the corners for the purpose of shooting arrows and great stones. Hence his fame spread afar, for he was marvelously helped until he was strong.
16. But when he became strong, his heart was so proud that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to the Lord his God, for he entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17. Then Azariah the priest entered after him and with him eighty priests of the Lord, valiant men.
18. They opposed Uzziah the king and said to him, "It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honor from the Lord God."
