Exegesis
The clause vehu ben-sheish esreh shanah {וְה֕וּא בֶּן־שֵׁ֥שׁ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה שָׁנָ֑ה | wə-hû ben-šēš ʿeśrēh šānāh} is an appositional identification clause: the pronoun vehu {וְהוּא | wə-hû} ‘and he’ introduces the age statement, and English supplies “was” to express the Hebrew nominal structure.
In context — 2 Chronicles 26:1
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, and he was sixteen years old, and they made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
