2 Chronicles 26:5 meaning and explanation
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.
2 Chronicles 26:5, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The Chronicler is summarizing Uzziah's early reign in Judah, and verse 5 gives the reason for his success: he sought God while Zechariah, a prophet or teacher otherwise unknown to us, instructed him in the fear of God. The Hebrew verb darash, "to seek," carries the sense of turning to God deliberately and repeatedly, not a single gesture.
