His reign is recorded in 2 Kings 15:1-7 and 2 Chronicles 26. Uzziah became king at the age of sixteen and reigned for fifty-two years. He is noted for his military successes, architectural achievements, and agricultural advancements. Uzziah's reign was marked by prosperity and strength, attributed to his faithfulness to God during the early years of his rule. However, his later years were marred by pride, leading to his downfall. He unlawfully entered the temple to burn incense, a duty reserved for priests, and was struck with leprosy as a divine punishment. Consequently, he lived in isolation until his death, while his son Jotham governed in his stead. Uzziah's story serves as a reminder of the importance of humility and obedience to God's commandments.
