Contextual Overview
1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 2 He was the builder of Eloth, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king. 3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem. 4 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done. 5 He gave himself to searching after God in the days of Zechariah, who made men wise in the fear of God; and as long as he was true to the Lord, God made things go well for him. 6 He went out and made war against the Philistines, pulling down the walls of Gath and Jabneh and Ashdod, and building towns in the country round Ashdod and among the Philistines. 7 And God gave him help against the Philistines, and against the Arabians living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunim. 8 The Ammonites gave offerings to Uzziah: and news of him went out as far as the limit of Egypt; for he became very great in power. 9 Uzziah made towers in Jerusalem, at the doorway in the angle and at the doorway in the valley and at the turn of the wall, arming them. 10 And he put up towers in the waste land and made places for storing water, for he had much cattle, in the low hills and in the table land; and he had farmers and vine-keepers in the mountains and in the fertile land, for he was a lover of farming.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host,.... For every soldier in the army:
shields and spears; defensive and offensive weapons, the one to cover and protect their bodies, the other to push and pierce their enemies:
and helmets, and habergeons; the first of these were a covering for the head in the day of battle, and the other coats of mail, to defend the body:
and bows; to shoot arrows out of:
and slings to cast stones; at which the Benjaminites formerly were very expert.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The sling was used in war by the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Greeks, Romans, and others. Its employment by the Benjamites appears from Judges 20:16, and by the ten tribes, a century before Uzziah, from 2 Kings 3:25.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 26:14. Shields, and spears — He prepared a vast number of military weapons, that he might have them in readiness to put into the hands of his subjects on any exigency.
