2 Chronicles 26:3 In-Context

1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was 16 years old, and made him king after his father Amaziah.

2 He rebuilt Eloth, restoring it to Judah after King Amaziah had lain down with his ancestors.

3 Uzziah was 16 years old when he became king, and he ruled for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.

4 He did what was right in the LORD's eyes, just as his father Amaziah had done.

5 He sought God as long as Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God, was alive. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
