All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
He built Eloth and restored it to Judah.
After that the king slept with his fathers.
Uzziah 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.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
