2. It was he that built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
3. Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

5. And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God and in the days that he sought Jehovah, God made him to prosper.
