2 Chronicles 26:1-8
1AllH3605 the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 UzziahH5818,1 whoH1931 was sixteenH8337H6240 years oldH1121H8141, and made him kingH4427 in place ofH8478 his fatherH1 AmaziahH558. 2Uzziah was the one who rebuiltH1129 ElothH3592 and restoredH7725 it to JudahH3063 afterH310 KingH4428 Amaziah3 restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1.
3UzziahH5818 was sixteenH8337H6240 years oldH1121H8141 when he became kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 fifty-twoH2572H8147 yearsH8141. His mother’sH517 nameH8034 was JecoliahH3203; she was fromH4480 JerusalemH3389. 4And he didH6213 what was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, just asH3605 his fatherH1 AmaziahH558 had doneH6213. 5He soughtH1875 GodH430 throughout the daysH3117 of ZechariahH2148, who instructed himH995 in the fearH72004 of GodH430. And as long asH3117 he soughtH1875 the LORDH3068, GodH430 gave him successH6743.
6Uzziah went outH3318 to wage warH3898 against the PhilistinesH6430, and he tore downH6555 the wallsH2346 of GathH1661, JabnehH2996, andH853 AshdodH795. Then he builtH1129 citiesH5892 near AshdodH795 and among the PhilistinesH6430. 7GodH430 helped himH5826 againstH5921 the PhilistinesH6430, againstH5921 the ArabsH6163 livingH3427 in Gur-baalH1485, and against the MeunitesH4586. 8The AmmonitesH5984 broughtH5414 tributeH4503 to UzziahH5818, and his fameH8034 spreadH1980 as farH5704 as the borderH935 of EgyptH4714, forH3588 he had becomeH5704 exceedinglyH4605 powerfulH2388.
