2 CHRONICLES 26:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did.”
The divine favor — 'And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper' (וַיִּדְרֹשׁ אֶת־הֱלֹהִים בִּימֵי זְכַרְיָהוּ הַמְּבִין בִּרְאוֹת הָאֱלֹהִים). Zechariah (a prophetic advisor, distinct from the martyr in Chronicles 24) guides Uzziah in the fear of the LORD. The phrase 'as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper' (כל ימים דרש את יהוה השׂכיל אתו אלהים) establishes prosperity as conditional on seeking.
