2 Chronicles 26:1 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

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.

2 Chronicles 26:1

1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah,a who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
