 Bible History, Old Testament: Vol VII - Chapter 6
This state of things was absolutely reversed during the reign of Uzziah; and at its close Judah not only held the same place as Israel under the former reign, but surpassed it in might and glory.
As regards the religious condition of the country it is significant that, as the reign of former kings, so the present was characterized by a combination of doing "the right in the sight of Jehovah," with a continuance of "the high places," and their sacrifices and worship.
But by far the most important undertaking of the reign of Uzziah was the restoration and the fortification of the northern wall of Jerusalem, which had been broken down in the time of Amaziah (2 Chronicles 25:23).

 Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible [Second Chronicles, Chapter XXVI].
This chapter gives us an account of the reign of Uzziah (Azariah he was called in the Kings) more fully than we had it before, though it was long, and in some respects illustrious, yet it was very briefly related, 2 Kings xiv.
Uzziah might have done this, and it would have been to his praise; but as for burning incense, that service was to be performed by the priests only.
If Uzziah did intend to honour God, and gain acceptance with him, in what he did, he was quite out in his aim; for, being a service purely of divine institution, he could not expect it should be accepted unless it were done in the way and by the hands that God had appointed.

 God's Judgment Regarding King Uzziah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
King Uzziah energetically and faithfully pursued the welfare of his people, being especially active in the military and in agriculture.
Since we are never told he repented, one might argue that we should judge Uzziah “did right in youth, evil in old age,” as we did with some kings.
As a result, even though Uzziah perhaps never repented, he retired from office, and the impact of his sin was thereby limited.
