📚 Historical Context

King Uzziah ruled Judah for 52 years (around 792-740 BC) and was initially a good king who strengthened the nation. However, he later became proud and was struck with leprosy for overstepping his bounds in the temple. Isaiah the prophet, who served during this time, apparently kept detailed records of royal activities, which was common practice for court prophets in ancient Israel.
