1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was 16 years old, and made him king after his father Amaziah.
2 He rebuilt Eloth, restoring it to Judah after King Amaziah had lain down with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah was 16 years old when he became king, and he ruled for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
4 He did what was right in the Lord’s eyes, just as his father Amaziah had done.
