2 Chronicles 26:1
Verse 1 of 23. The 26th of 36 chapters in 2 Chronicles, in History.
1All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
2He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
3Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
4He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.
