2 Chronicles 26:1 In-Context

1 Forsooth all the people of Judah made Uzziah , his son, of sixteen years age, king for his father Amaziah. (Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, or Azariah, Amaziah's son, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father.)
2 He builded Eloth (And he rebuilt Eloth), and restored it to the lordship of Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Uzziah was of sixteen years (Uzziah was sixteen years old), when he began to reign; and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Jecoliah, of Jerusalem.
4 And he did that, that was rightful in the sight of the Lord, by all things which Amaziah, his father, had done.
5 And he sought the Lord in the days of Zechariah, understanding and seeing God (who had understanding in the visions of God); and when he sought God, God ruled him in all things.
