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 In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful.
