About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:

Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV. Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning. For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.

The Table Format:

The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.

2 Chronicles 26:1-23 Uzziah Becomes King After Amaziah Dies

 

Uzziah Becomes King After Amaziah Dies

2 Chronicles 26:1-23                       2 Chronicles in [Smaller Chunks]

Then, all the people of Judah took 16 year old Uzziah, [a.k.a. Azariah,] & made him king in [place] of his father, Amaziah. [Uzziah rebuilt] Eloth, & [returned Eloth] to Judah, after king [Amaziah] [died,] & slept with his [forefathers.] Uzziah began to [rule] at 16 years old, & he [ruled] 52 years in Jerusalem. 

Also, his mother’s name was Jecoliah, [from] Jerusalem. And [Uzziah] did [what] was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all his father, Amaziah, did. And [Uzziah] sought [the Lord] God [during] the days of Zechariah, who [was given] understanding in the visions of God. 

And as long as [Uzziah turned to] the Lord, God made him prosper. And Uzziah went [out,] & warred against the Philistines, & [broke] down the Wall of Gath, the Wall of Jabneh, & the Wall of Ashdod. And [he] built cities [around] Ashdod, & among the Philistines. 

And God helped [Uzziah] against :the Philistines, the Mehunims, & against the Arabians [who] dwelt in Gur Baal. And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah. And his name spread [as far as] the [entrance] of Egypt. For [Uzziah] strengthened himself exceedingly. 

[Also,] Uzziah built towers at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, & the [corner] of the wall in Jerusalem, & fortified them. [Uzziah] also built towers in the desert, & [dug] many wells, [because] he had [lots of] cattle, [a.k.a. livestock,] in both the low country, [a.k.a. foothills,] & in the plains. 

Also, [he had:] [farmers,] & [vineyard workers] in the mountains, & in Carmel: for he loved [farming.]

[Also,] Uzziah had an [army of warriors, who] went out to war by [companies,] according to the number [recorded] by the hand of Jeiel, [a.k.a. Jelel,] the scribe, & Maaseiah, the ruler, under [the direction] of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains. 

The [total] number of the chief [a.k.a. leaders,] of the [forefathers] of the mighty men of valor were 2,600. And under their [command] was an army [of] 307,500, [who] made war with mighty power, to help king [Uzziah] against the enemy.

And Uzziah prepared for them, & [provided] the whole army [with:] shields, spears, helmets, [body armor,] bows, & slings to [throw] stones. And [Uzziah] [had devices] made in Jerusalem, invented by [skillful] men, to be on [top of] the towers, & [the corners of the walls,] to shoot arrows [from it & to catapult] [large rocks with them.] 

And [Uzziah’s] name spread far [around;] for he was marvelously helped, [until] he was strong. But when [Uzziah] was strong, his [prideful] heart was lifted up, to his destruction: for he [sinned] against the Lord his God, & went into the [Lord’s] temple to burn incense upon the incense altar. 

And Azariah, the priest, went in after [Uzziah,] with 80 of the [Lord’s] priests, [who] were valiant men. And they [stopped] king Uzziah, & said to him, [Burning] incense to the Lord [doesn’t] pertain to you, Uzziah, but [only] to the priests, the sons, [a.k.a. descendants,] of Aaron, [who] are consecrated to burn incense. 

Go out of the sanctuary; for you have [sinned.] Neither [will] you be [honored by] the Lord God. Then, Uzziah was [angry,] & had a censer in his hand to burn incense.

And while he was [furious] with the priests, leprosy rose up, & [broke out] in [Uzziah’s] forehead, [in front of] the priests, in the [Lord’s] house, from beside the incense altar. And Azariah, the chief priest, & all the priests, looked [at Uzziah & saw he had leprosy] in his forehead, & they [threw Uzziah] out from [there.]

[Yes,] [Uzziah,] himself also [hurried] to go out, because the Lord had [struck] him. And Uzziah, the king, was a leper [until] the day of his death, & [he lived in an isolated] house, [because he] [was] a leper: for he was cut off from the [Lord’s] house.

And Jotham, [Uzziah’s] son, was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land. Now the rest of [Uzziah’s actions,] 1st & last, Isaiah, the prophet, [Amoz’] son, [wrote.] 

So, Uzziah [died,] & slept with his [forefathers,] & they buried him with his [forefathers,] in the burial field, which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper. And Jotham, his son, [ruled] in his [place.]
