Uzziah, also called Azariah, was a king of Judah who reigned for 52 years. He became king at the age of 16 and did what was right in God's sight, seeking Him during the days of Zechariah. God made him prosper, and he had success in wars against the Philistines and Arabs. Uzziah built towers and fortified Jerusalem, assembled a well-equipped army, and developed agricultural projects. However, when he became strong, pride led to his downfall. He entered the temple to burn incense, a task reserved for priests, and God struck him with leprosy until his death. Uzziah was a contemporary of the prophets Isaiah, Amos, and Hosea. He is also included in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew.
