1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was 16 years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Uzziah rebuilt Elath and returned it to Judah after King Amaziah lay down in death with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah was 16 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for 52 years in Jerusalem. His mother was Jecoliah from Jerusalem.
4 He did what the Lord considered right, as his father Amaziah had done.
