Contextual Overview

1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, when, he, was sixteen years old, - and made him king, instead of his father Amaziah. 2 He, built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, - after that the king slept with his fathers. 3 Sixteen years old, was Uzziah, when he began to reign, and, fifty-two years, reigned he in Jerusalem,-and, the name of his mother, was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem. 4 And he did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh, - according to all that Amaziah his father had done. 5 And it came to pass that he set himself to seek God, in the days of Zechariah, who gave understanding in the seeing of God, - and, throughout the days of his seeking Yahweh, God, prospered him. 6 So he went forth and made war against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, - and built cities in Ashdod, and among the Philistines. 7 And God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabians who dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Meunim. 8 And the Ammonites gave a present to Uzziah, - and his name went forth as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he shewed exceeding great strength. 9 And Uzziah built towers, in Jerusalem, over the corner-gate, and over the valley-gate, and over the angle, - and he made them strong. 10 And he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells, for, much cattle, had he, both in the lowland, and in the plain, - husbandmen and vinedressers, in the mountains and in the fruitful field, for, a lover of the soil, was he.

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.

piously and prosperously, which continued during the life of

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.
