“And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.”
Divine aid and vassal tribute — 'And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabs who lived in Gurbaal, and the Meunites. And the Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread even to the border of Egypt, for he became very strong' (וַיַּעְזְרוּ־לוֹ אֱלֹהִים עַל־הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים וְעַל־הָעֲרָבִים הַיֹּשְׁבִים בְּגוּר־בָּעַל וַעַל־הַמְּעוּנִים). Divine aid (עזר) enables victories over Philistines, Arabs, and Meunites. Ammonite vassals pay tribute. The fame spreading to Egypt indicates international recognition.
