Parallel
2 Chronicles 26:15
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
And he made in Jerusalem machines invented by a wise contriver, to be upon the towers and upon the corners, to cast darts and great stones: and [the fame] of their preparation was heard at a distance; for he was wonderfully helped, till he was strong.
And in Jerusalem he made skillfully designed devices to shoot (note: Or to protect those who shoot) arrows and catapult large stones from the towers and corners. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was helped tremendously until he became powerful.
