2 CHRONICLES 26:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.”
The engineer-inventor — 'And Uzziah made machines designed by skilful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones. And his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped, until he was strong' (ויעשׂ בירושׁלם מכונות מחשׁבת חרושׁ להיות על המגדלים ועל הפנות להציא חצים ואבנים). Uzziah's technological innovations (siege machines) reflect engineering expertise and resource commitment.
