And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD according to all that his father Uzziah had done,ⓑ except he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices.

He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD and did much building on the wall ofⓒ Ophel.
4
Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.
