And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king for his father Amaziah. And he built Elath and brought it again to Judah, after that the king was laid to rest with his fathers.
The twenty seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Uzziah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign. Sixteen years old was he when he was made king, and he reigned forty two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah, and was of Jerusalem. And he did that pleased the LORD in all things, as did his father Amaziah, read more.
save that they put not the hill altars away: for the people offered and burned fat still in the hill altars. And the LORD smote the king, that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a house at liberty, and Jotham the king's son governed the house and judged the people of the land. The rest of the deeds of Uzziah and all he did, are written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. And Uzziah laid him to sleep with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
