1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was only sixteen years old, and made him king to succeed Amaziah his father.
2 It was he who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
4 He did what was right in the Lord’s sight, just as his father Amaziah had done.
