Context of 2 Chronicles 26:3
1All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in his father Amaziah’s place. 2Uzziah built up Elat and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah had passed away. Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecholiah, who was from Jerusalem. 4He did what the Lord approved, just as his father Amaziah had done. 5He followed God during the lifetime of Zechariah, who taught him how to honor God. As long as he followed the Lord, God caused him to succeed.
