2 Chronicles 26:1-5

Uzziah Reigns in Judah

¹Now all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah. ²He built Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with his fathers.

³Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. ⁴And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. ⁵He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper.
