# It was he who rebuilt Elath

Uzziah did not do this alone. Alternate translation: "It was he who ordered Elath to be rebuilt" or "It was he who supervised the rebuilding of Elath" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])

# Elath

a city in Judah (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])

# restored it to Judah

"returned it to Judah." This means that his army captured the city so that now it belonged to Judah again.

# lay down with his ancestors

This is a polite way to say he died. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-euphemism]])
