What is the context?
The account refers to Isaiah’s record of Uzziah’s acts and closes with his death. He is buried in a field belonging to the royal burial area because of his leprosy.
Jotham succeeds him after already governing during his father’s exclusion. The ending remembers the long reign without removing the condition that had changed its later course.
The reference to a prophetic record is not itself a report that the entire document is preserved within the book of Isaiah now available to readers.
How is this passage commonly understood?
2 Kings 15:5–7 gives the related isolation, death, and succession. Wesley understands the continued separation in relation to the king’s earlier presumption. The burial description should not be expanded into a claim that an independently identified tomb or inscription proves every detail of the reign.
