Azariah: Dr. Kennicott complains loudly here of "the corruption in the name of this king of Judah, who is expressed by four different names in this chapter: Ozriah, Oziah, Ozrihu, and Ozihu. Our oldest Hebrew manuscript relieves us here, by reading truly, in 2 Kings 15:1, 2 Kings 15:6, 2 Kings 15:7, Uzziah, where the printed text is differently corrupted. This reading is called true:
1. Because it is supported by the Syriac and Arabic versions in these three verses.
2. Because the printed text itself has it so in 2 Kings 15:32 and 2 Kings 15:34 of this very chapter.
3. Because it is so expressed in the parallel place in Chronicles.
4. Because it is not זבסיבע, Azarias, but זיבע, Ozias (Uzziah) in St. Matthew's genealogy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?] In the history of the reigns of those kings; some of them are recorded in the canonical book of the Chronicles, 2 Chronicles 26:1 and some were written by the prophet Isaiah, 2 Chronicles 26:22.
