Uzziah Reigns in Judah
1 Now all the people of Judah took1 Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
2 He built1 Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with his fathers.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
4 And he did what was aright in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 aHe sought God in the days of Zechariah, who bhad understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him cprosper.
6 Now he went out and amade war against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities around Ashdod and among the Philistines.
7 God helped him against athe Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and against the Meunites.
