Commentary

Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate,.... Which was broken down by the king of Israel in his father 's time, Ch2 25:23 and which he not only repaired, but strengthened, by building a tower upon it: and at the valley gate; which led to the valley, Neh 2:13 , called the valley of the dead bodies, in which they were cast, and in which the brook Kidron ran, Jer 31:40 . and at the turning of the wall; at each of those places he built towers, which Josephus (o) says were one hundred and fifty cubits high: and fortified them; put garrisons of soldiers into them. (o) Antiqu. l. 9. c. 10. sect. 3.
