Шаблон:Anchor Uzziah, king of Judah (26:1–15)

Like some kings of Judah before him, Uzziah's reign could be divided into two periods: one positive (Uzziah's successes as a result of seeking God) and one negative (Uzziah's illness caused by his disobedience as described in verses 16–21.Шаблон:Sfn The Chronicles portray Uzziah as a major reformer whose fame reached Egypt and detail his wars, construction projects, agriculture and military organization, whereas 2 Kings 14:21–2; 15:1–7 which only report the fortification and conquest of Elath as well as Uzziah's illness.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Verse 3

Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.[2]
  • Cross references: 2 Kings 15:2
  • "Fifty-two years": in Thiele's chronology Uzziah first reigned as a co-regent (while his father, Amaziah, was in exile) in September 791 BCE,Шаблон:Sfn then became the 10th king of Judah between April and September 767 BCE then died between April and September 739 BCE.Шаблон:Sfn[3] Only Manasseh has longer period of reign in the kingdom of Judah than Uzziah.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 5

And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.[4]
  • "Zechariah": (without a title) taught Uzziah 'to seek God' (NRSV: 'in the fear of God'), a positive attitude towards YHWH which resulted in 'God made him prosper', and as long as he lived, Uzziah behaved well (similar to Joash, who fell away only after the death of the priest Jehoiada).Шаблон:Sfn Uzziah is named in the book of Zechariah (Zechariah 14:5), and a Zechariah is mentioned in Isaiah 8:2.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 10

Also he built towers in the desert. He dug many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains; he also had farmers and vinedressers in the mountains and in Carmel, for he loved the soil.[5]

Archaeological evidence supports the record of Uzziah's building projects in the south, although it could also point to the time of Jehoshaphat or other kings.Шаблон:Sfn

  • "Carmel": or "the fertile fields."[6]

Шаблон:Anchor Uzziah’s disease (26:16–23)

In the latter period of his reign, Uzziah grew proud and attempted to burn incense, which could only be performed by the priests. When the priests warned him, Uzziah became angry to them, but the king was immediately smitten with leprosy, so he had to live in a separate house from then on and his son, Jotham, ruled as regent.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 23

So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.[7]
  • Cross references: 2 Kings 15:7
  • "Slept with his fathers": or "died and joined his ancestors."[8]
