Uzziah Succeeds Amaziah in Judah

1 And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen * years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah after the king slept with his fathers.
3 Uzziah was 1sixteen * years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem.
4 He did right in the sight of the LORD according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 2He continued to seek God in the days of Zechariah, 3who had understanding through the vision of God; and 4as long as he sought the LORD, God prospered him.
