My husband doesn't think the Rashi is in Melachim...I was thinking Yehoshafat but couldn't find any mention of it in Rashi. Didn't have a chance to look in Divrei Hayamim.

my first thought was Yehoshafat too, but it is not in Melachim.

Yehoshafat is there, but is the rashi about canons?

My dh says he wonders if we're getting it right. How do they say "canon"?

It was Uzziah (Azariah).
Here is the citation:
Divrei HaYamim Bet 26:15
And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skilful men, to be on
the towers and upon the corners, wherewith to shoot arrows and great
stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously
helped, till he was strong.
What the pasuk is describing isn't cannon, however. It's catapaults
and arbalests (an arbalest is a giant crossbow).

and we thought cannons were old-fashioned ... I guess they are the modern version of those catapaults
