Context Reading
1All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 2Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers. 3Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 4And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done. 5He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
