 Two of these towers face the valley of Hinnom, where Joash, king of Israel, had broken down the wall after having conquered Amaziah (2 Chron. 25:23). (Uzziah: 2 Chronicles 26 by H.L. Rossier)
 Uzziah also fortified the "corner gate," a weak and exposed part of Jerusalem's fortifications by which one might gain access to the temple and capture it. In other words, Uzziah was not content simply to rebuild that which the enemy had destroyed but sought to secure God's temple from any attack. (Uzziah: 2 Chronicles 26 by H.L. Rossier)
