In context
1In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel Uzziah the son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.
2Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
— 2 Kings 15:3 —
4Only he took not away any of the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
5And the Lord plagued the king, and he was leprous till the day of his death; and he reigned in a separate house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the household, judging the people of the land.
