2 Chronicles 26:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And the Ammonites gave [a]gifts to Uzziah, and his name spread to the entering in of Egypt: for he did most valiantly.
9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the (A)[b]turning, and made them strong.
10 And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many [c]cisterns: for he had much cattle both in the valleys and plains, plowmen, and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in [d]Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
