2 Chronicles 26:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his reputation extended as far as the border with Egypt as he became stronger and stronger. ⁹ Uzziah also built towers in Jerusalem, at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the Angle^[a] and fortified them. ¹⁰ He also built watchtowers in the wilderness and had many cisterns hewed out, since he also possessed large herds, both in the Shephelah^[b] and in the midland plains. He had many farmers and vinedressers throughout the hills and fertile lands because he loved farming.^[c]
