2 Kings 15:4 In-Context

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.
6 All the other things Uzziah did are written in the book of the history of the kings of Judah.
