1 All the people of Judah (praised) took Uzziah (Azariah), who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah (YHWH is mighty). 2 Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth (Elath) and restored it to Judah (praised) after King Amaziah \after the king/ rested with his fathers. 3 Uzziah (my strength is YHWH) was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem (city of peace) fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah (YHWH is able); she was from Jerusalem. 4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD {YHWH}, just as his father Amaziah (YHWH is mighty) had done. 5 He sought God {Elohim} throughout the days of Zechariah (YHWH remembers), who instructed him in the fear [through the vision] of God. And as long as he sought the LORD {YHWH}, God gave him success. 2 Chronicles 26:1-5, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
