Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah,.... As tributaries to him, or; however, as desirous to live in friendship with him:

and his name spread abroad, even to the entering in of Egypt; so far he carried his arms, and conquered the countries that lay between Palestine and Egypt:

for he strengthened himself exceedingly; his kingdom and its coasts from the force of enemies.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 26:8. The Ammonites gave gifts — Paid an annual tribute.
