1 And all the people of Judah took Uzziah and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah when he was sixteen years old.
2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah after Amaziah the king slept with his fathers.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he was king in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. The name of his mother was Jekoliah from Jerusalem.
4 And he did what was correct in the eyes of the Lord as everything his father Amaziah had done.
