Chronicles II 26:1 In-Context

1 Then all the people of the land took Ozias, and he was sixteen years old, and they made him king in the room of his father Amasias.
2 He built Aelath, he recovered it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.
3 Ozias began to reign at the age of sixteen years, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father did.
5 And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias, who understood the fear of the Lord; and in his days he sought the Lord, and the Lord prospered him.
