2 Chronicles 26:1-8

Uzziah Reigns over Judah

And all the people of Judah took ¹Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah. 2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah after the king slept with his fathers. 3 Uzziah was ^asixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was ¹Jechiliah of Jerusalem. 4 And he did what was right in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 5 ^aAnd he continued to seek God in the days of Zechariah, ^bwho had understanding ¹through the vision of God; and ²^cas long as he sought Yahweh, God made him succeed.

Uzziah’s Fame Spreads Afar

6 Then he went out and ^afought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the area of Ashdod and among the Philistines. 7 ^aAnd God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur-baal, and the Meunites. 8 The Ammonites also gave ^atribute to Uzziah, and his ¹fame extended to the border of Egypt, for he became very strong.
