דברי הימים ב, פרק כ״ו, פסוק ג׳

The era of King Uzziah stands out due to the remarkable length of his rule. Spanning fifty-two years, his time on the throne was almost the longest in the entire history of the Kingdom of Judah. This unusual amount of time gave him the rare opportunity to deeply shape the nation and leave a lasting mark. Because he held power for over five decades, the king was able to accomplish a great deal [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Additionally, traditional readings establish that the king's mother was named Yecholya [מנחת שי].
