1 And all the people will take Uzziah, and he the son of sixteen years, and they will make him king instead of his father Amaziah. 2 He built Eloth and turned it back to Judah; afterwards the king lay down with his fathers. 3 The son of sixteen years was Uzziah in his reigning, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name Jecoliah from Jerusalem. 4 And he will do the straight in the eyes of Jehovah according to all which Amaziah his father did. 5 And he will be for seeking God in the days of Zechariah understanding in the visions of God: and in the days of his seeking Jehovah, God prospered him. 6 And he will go forth and war against the rovers, and he will break in the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he will build cities in Ashdod, and among the rovers. 7 And God will help him against the rovers, and against the Arabians inhabiting Gur-Baal, and the Mehunims. 8 And the Ammonites will give a gift to Uzziah: and his name will go even to the entrance of Egypt: for he was strengthened even to above. 2 Chronicles 26:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
