2 Chronicles 26:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

He sought God in the days of Zechariah Who was probably the son of that Zechariah whom his grand-father Joash slew. Who had understanding in the visions of God Either the visions with which he himself was favoured, or the visions of the preceding prophets. He was well skilled in prophecy, and conversed much with the heavenly world; was an intelligent, devout, and good man; and had such influence on Uzziah, that while he lived he sought God, sought his favour, direction, and aid; trusted in him, cleaved to him, and persisted in his worship, and in the true religion. Happy are the great men who have such about them, and are willing to be advised by them: but unhappy those who seek God only while they have such with them, and have not a principle in themselves to bear them out to the end.
