2 Chronicles 26:3 In-Context

1 All of the people of Judah made Uzziah king. He was 16 years old. They made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Uzziah rebuilt Elath. He brought it under Judah's control again. He did it after Amaziah joined the members of his family who had already died.
3 Uzziah was 16 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother's name was Jecoliah. She was from Jerusalem.
4 Uzziah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done.
5 He looked to God during the days of Zechariah. Zechariah taught him to have respect for God. As long as Uzziah looked to the Lord, God gave him success.
