This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
he made ... engines, invented by cunning men ... to shoot arrows and great stones - This is the first notice that occurs in history of the use of machines for throwing projectiles. The invention is apparently ascribed to the reign of Uzziah, and Pliny expressly says they originated in Syria.
he was marvellously helped till he was strong - He conducted himself as became the viceroy of the Divine King, and prospered.
