26:4 He did what the Lord approved , just as his father Amaziah had done .
26:5 He followed God during the lifetime of Zechariah , who taught him how to honor God . As long as he followed the Lord , God caused him to succeed .

26:9 Uzziah built and fortified towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate , Valley Gate , and at the Angle .
