(which was sixteen years old;) yet as he began to reign in the twenty seventh year of Jeroboam, 2 Kings 15:1 and Jeroboam began to reign in the fifteenth yaer of Amaziah, 2 Kings 14:23, he could be but four years of age, for the solution of which, 2 Kings 14:23- ::
and made him king instead of his father Amaziah; which was after his death, and not when he fled to Lachish, as Kimchi thinks.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
All the people of Judah - The words imply that the conspiracy was one in which the general mass of the people did not participate. There was no confusion and trouble as on the occasion of the murder of Joash. Azariah (âthe strength of Yahwehâ), and Uzziah (âwhom Yahweh assistsâ), were mere variants of one name.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 14:21. Took Azariah — He is also called Uzziah, 2 Chronicles 26:1. The former signifies, The help of the Lord; the latter, The strength of the Lord.
