1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzzi´ah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amazi´ah.
2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Sixteen years old was Uzzi´ah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoli´ah of Jerusalem.
4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amazi´ah did.
5 And he sought God in the days of Zechari´ah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.
