1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah (now he was sixteen years old) and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
2 He built Elath and returned it to Judah after the king slept with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. And the name of his mother was Yecoliah of Jerusalem.
4 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Amaziah his father had done.
