‏ 2 Chronicles 26:1-5

Uzziah's Prosperity

This section introduces Uzziah, king of Judah, and highlights both his devotion to God and his success as a ruler. Uzziah followed the Lord and listened to wise spiritual leaders, which brought blessing to his reign. As long as he sought God, he prospered in every area—military, building, farming, and in his reputation. The story reminds us that true success comes from seeking and obeying God.

v. 1-5: Uzziah was made king by the people of Judah. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, keeping the true worship of God as his father had done, but he was even better because he never turned to idols. Uzziah sought God while Zechariah, a wise and devout prophet, was alive. Zechariah taught him about God’s visions. As long as Uzziah listened to godly advice and sought the Lord, God made him prosper (2 Chronicles 26:1-5 a).
