2 Chronicles 26 · Grade 3
As Long as He Sought Yahweh
Read the Story
The people made Uzziah king when he was sixteen. He reigned fifty-two years. He did right in Yahweh's eyes. He sought God in the days of Zechariah. As long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.
God helped him. He built towers in Jerusalem and in the wilderness. He dug many wells, for he had many cattle. He loved farming. He had a strong army, and his name spread far.
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up. He went into the temple to burn incense. The priests told him this was not for him. Uzziah was angry. Then he became sick. He lived in a separate house.
