1
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2
Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
3
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
4
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.
5
He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
