- 2 Kings 14:21
Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
Commentary on 2 Kings 14:212 voices
Azariah - This Azariah is called Uzziah, chap. xv, 30, both names signifying the same thing for substance; that, God's help; and this, God's strength. But this was not done till twelve years after his father's death: so long the government was in the hands of protectors.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
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 (the strength of Yahweh), and Uzziah (whom Yahweh assists), were mere variants of one name.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- 2 Kings 14:22
Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
Commentary on 2 Kings 14:222 voices
He built Elath--fortified that seaport. It had revolted with the rest of Edom, but was now recovered by Uzziah. His father, who did not complete the conquest of Edom, had left him that work to do.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
He built Elath - This city belonged to the Edomites; and was situated on the eastern branch of the Red Sea, thence called the Elanitic Gulf. It had probably suffered much in the late war; and was now rebuilt by Uzziah, and brought entirely under the dominion of Judah.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 2 Kings 15:1

Commentary on 2 Kings 15:12 voices

Ishodad of Merv· BOOKS OF SESSIONS 2 KINGS 15:3, 850Patristic
In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam - Dr. Kennicott complains loudly here, because 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 MS. relieves us here by reading truly, in 2Ki 15:1, 2Ki 15:6, 2Ki 15:7, עזיהו 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.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical

- 1 Chronicles 6:24
Tahath his son, Uriel his son, Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 6:241 voice
Gershom, &c.--This repetition (see 1Ch 6:1) is made, as the historian here begins to trace the genealogy of the Levitical families who were not priests. The list is a long one, comprising the chiefs or heads of their several families until David's reign, who made a new and different classification of them by courses.

And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
This section is important as showing that David, the younger son of a not very opulent family 1Sa 16:11, 1Sa 16:20, had now become a large landed proprietor, as well as a capitalist, possessed of much moveable wealth. We may perhaps see the sources of both these kinds of property, in the successful wars which he had waged 1Sa 27:8-9; 1Sa 30:20; 2Sa 8:4, 2Sa 8:7-8, 2Sa 8:12; in the revenue derived from subject kings 1Sa 8:2, 1Sa 8:14; 1Sa 10:19; and in the purchase and occupation of lands in different places.

- 2 Chronicles 26:1
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 26:12 voices
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah,.... Of this and the three following verses, see the notes on 2Ki 14:21 where Uzziah is called Azariah. See Gill on 2Ki 14:21, 2Ki 14:22, 2Ki 15:2, 2Ki 15:3.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Uzziah - This form of the name is found uniformly in Chronicles (except 1Ch 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.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- 2 Chronicles 26:2
Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 26:21 voice
Besides, it indicates that the conquest occurred in the early part of his reign, that it was important as a port, and that Hebrew merchants maintained the old trade between it and the countries of the East [BERTHEAU].
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed

- 2 Chronicles 26:5
He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 26:52 voices
This Zechariah was one that had understanding in the visions of God, either the visions which he himself was favoured with or the visions of the preceding prophets. He was well versed in prophecy, and conversed much with the upper world, was an intelligent, devout, good man; and, it seems, had great influence with Uzziah.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
And he sought God in the days of Zechariah,....

- 2 Chronicles 26:6

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 26:62 voices
Uzziahs expedition was the natural sequel to the Edomite war of Amaziah 2Ch 25:11, which crushed the most formidable of all the tribes of the south. On Jabneh see Jos 15:11 note; and on Ashdod see Jos 13:3 note.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
