II Crônicas 26:15

15 Fabricou em Jerusalém máquinas, de invenção de homens peritos, destinadas para as torres e cantos das muralhas, para atirarem flechas e grandes pedras; divulgou-se a sua fama até muito longe, porque foi maravilhosamente ajudado, até que se tornou forte.

15 And in Jerusalem he made machines, the invention of expert men, to be placed on the towers and angles of the walls for sending arrows and great stones. And his name was honoured far and wide; for he was greatly helped till he was strong.
