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.

prevails over the Arabians and Mehunims, 7;

and brings the Ammonites under tribute, 8.

of the country, and delights in husbandry, 9, 10.

An account of his military strength, warlike instruments, and

machines, 11-15.

and is smitten with the leprosy, 16-20.
