2. Krønikebok 26,1

Folket i Juda valgte Ussia, som var seksten år gammel, og utnevnte ham til konge i stedet for hans far Amasja.

2 Han gjenoppbygde Elot og førte det tilbake til Juda etter at kongen var lagt til hvile hos sine forfedre.

3 Ussia var seksten år gammel da han ble konge, og han regjerte i femtito år i Jerusalem; og hans mors navn var Jekolja fra Jerusalem.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
