2 Kings 15:3 In-Context

1 Uzziahn son of Amaziah became king of Judah during Jeroboam's twenty-seventh year as king of Israel.

2 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he ruled fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother was named Jecoliah, and she was from Jerusalem.

3 He did what the Lord said was right, just as his father Amaziah had done.

4 But the places where gods were worshiped were not removed, so the people still made sacrifices and burned incense there.

5 The Lord struck Uzziah with a skin disease, which he had until the day he died. So he had to live in a separate house. Jotham, the king's son, was in charge of the palace, and he governed the people of the land.
