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