Commentary
4 notes on this verseThe rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet - write - This work, however, is totally lost; for we have not any history of this king in the writings of Isaiah. He is barely mentioned, Isa 1:1; Isa 6:1.
This site's exposition
did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write
Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, is named as the writer of Uzziah's acts, a record Chronicles cites as a source that does not survive inside the book of Isaiah as it stands; only Isa 1:1 and Isa 6:1 mention this king by name. Isaiah 6 dates the prophet's throne room vision in the year that king Uzziah died, so the reign this chapter closes is the same reign the next great prophetic call opens against. Gill records the Jewish tradition that Uzziah died the same year the leprosy struck him.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last,.... What were done by him, both in the beginning and latter end of his reign: did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write: not in his own prophecy, but in the history of his own times, which was usual for every prophet to write, though now lost, see 2Ki 15:6.

proposed
The acts of Uzziah ... did Isaiah ... write - Most critics regard Isaiah as about 20 when Uzziah died. He must, then, have written his history of Uzziah’s reign from documents and accounts of others, rather than from his own knowledge.
