Contextual Overview

1 Then all the people took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah. 2 He built Eloth and returned it to Judah after the king died. 3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king. And he ruled fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem. 4 Uzziah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He did all that his father Amaziah had done. 5 He kept on looking to God in the days of Zechariah, who had special wisdom from God and taught him in the things of God. And as long as he looked to the Lord, God made things go well for him. 6 Uzziah went out and made war against the Philistines. He broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod. And he built cities in the land of Ashdod and among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites. 8 The Ammonites paid taxes to Uzziah. And his name was known as far as the land of Egypt, for he became very strong. 9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the place where the walls joined. And he made them strong. 10 He built towers in the desert and dug many wells. For he had many animals, both in the valley and in the plain. He also had farmers and vine-keepers in the hill country and in the good growing fields, for he loved farming.
