2 Chronicles 26:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 Under their direction was an army of (A)307,500, who could wage war with great power, to help the king against the enemy. 14 Moreover, Uzziah prepared [a]for all the army shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slingstones. 15 In Jerusalem he made machines of war invented by skillful workmen to be on the towers and the corners, for the purpose of shooting arrows and great stones. So his [b]fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped until he was strong.
Pride Is Uzziah’s Undoing
16 But (B)when he became strong, his heart was so [c]proud that he acted corruptly, and he was untrue to the Lord his God, for (C)he entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense.

2 Chronicles 26:13-16
New International Version
13 Under their command was an army of 307,500 men trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies. 14 Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, coats of armor, bows and slingstones for the entire army.(A) 15 In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful.
16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride(B) led to his downfall.(C) He was unfaithful(D) to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense(E) on the altar of incense.
