2 Chronicles 26:5

Zechariah
Guidance and decisionsFaithObedienceWisdom

3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.

4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.

He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.

6 Uzziah went out to wage war against the Philistines, and he tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities near Ashdod and among the Philistines.

7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.
