Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2 Chronicles 25
²⁷ From the time that Amaziah turned away from following the Lord they conspired against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
²⁸ Then they brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
2 Chronicles 26
¹ And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, 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 sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem.
⁴ He did right in the sight of the Lord according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
⁵ He continued to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding through the vision of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God prospered him.
⁶ Now he went out and warred 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 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur-baal, and the Meunites.
⁸ The Ammonites also gave tribute to Uzziah, and his fame extended to the border of Egypt, for he became very strong.
⁹ Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and at the Valley Gate and at the corner buttress and fortified them.
