1
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2
He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3
Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
4
He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5
He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God: and as long as he sought Yahweh, God made him to prosper.
