2 Chronicles 26:1-7

1 omnis autem populus Iuda filium eius Oziam annorum sedecim constituit regem pro patre suo Amasia

2 ipse aedificavit Ahilath et restituit eam dicioni Iudae postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis

3 sedecim annorum erat Ozias cum regnare coepisset et quinquaginta duobus annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Hiechelia de Hierusalem

4 fecitque quod erat rectum in oculis Domini iuxta omnia quae fecerat Amasias pater eius

5 et exquisivit Deum in diebus Zacchariae intellegentis et videntis Deum cumque requireret Dominum direxit eum in omnibus

6 denique egressus est et pugnavit contra Philisthim et destruxit murum Geth et murum Iabniae murumque Azoti aedificavit quoque oppida in Azoto et in Philisthim

7 et adiuvit eum Deus contra Philisthim et contra Arabas qui habitabant in Gurbaal et contra Ammanitas
