2 Chronicles 26:8-10

The Voice

⁸ Then the Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his political strength was infamous all the way to Egypt’s border.

⁹ In Jerusalem, Uzziah commissioned the building of towers at the corner gate, the valley gate, and in the wall’s corners to further fortify the city. ¹⁰ In the wilderness, he commissioned more towers and the digging of cisterns for his many livestock in the lowland and plain. And because he so cared for the land, he employed plowmen in the fertile fields and vinedressers in the hills to make the ground productive.
