Quick answer
The prophet Isaiah recorded the rest of Uzziah's acts. His reign is tied to the ministry of the great prophet whose call came in the year Uzziah died.
Overview
The Chronicler notes that Isaiah son of Amoz wrote the fuller account of Uzziah's deeds. This links the king to one of Scripture's foremost prophets, whose famous vision of the LORD came in the year of Uzziah's death (Isaiah 6:1). Thus a flawed king's passing opens onto the prophetic word that points ahead to the holy King, Christ Himself.
