2 Chronicles 26:1-5

Uzziah Rules in Judah

¹All the people of Judah had crowned Amaziah’s sixteen-year-old son, Uzziah, as king in place of his father. ²After his father’s death, Uzziah rebuilt the town of Elath and restored it to Judah.

³Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother was Jecoliah from Jerusalem. ⁴He did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight, just as his father, Amaziah, had done. ⁵Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who taught him to fear God. And as long as the king sought guidance from the Lord, God gave him success.
