2 Chronicles 26:1-5 ▼

1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

2 After Amaziah the king rested with his ancestors, Uzziah rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah.

3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.

4 He did what was right in the LORD’s sight just as his father Amaziah had done.

5 He sought God throughout the lifetime of Zechariah, the teacher of the fear of God. During the time that he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
