Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 1-4. Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah,.... Of this and the three following verses, see the notes on 2 Kings 14:21 where Uzziah is called Azariah.

2 Kings 14:21- : 2 Kings 14:21- : 2 Kings 14:21- : 2 Kings 14:21- :

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Uzziah - This form of the name is found uniformly in Chronicles (except 1 Chronicles 3:12) and in the prophets. The writer of Kings prefers the form Azariah. Uzziah has been regarded as a phonetic corruption of the real name used by the common people.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Uzziah, the son of Amaziah, succeeds; and begins his reign

piously and prosperously, which continued during the life of

Zechariah the prophet, 1-5.

He fights successfully against the Philistines, and takes and

dismantles some of their chief cities, 6;

prevails over the Arabians and Mehunims, 7;

and brings the Ammonites under tribute, 8.

He fortifies Jerusalem, and builds towers in different parts

of the country, and delights in husbandry, 9, 10.

An account of his military strength, warlike instruments, and

machines, 11-15.

He is elated with his prosperity, invades the priest's office,

and is smitten with the leprosy, 16-20.

He is obliged to abdicate the regal office, and dwell apart

from this people, his son Jotham acting as regent, 21.

His death and burial, 22, 23.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXVI
