AZARIAH SUCCEEDS HIM. (Kg2 14:21-22)
all the people of Judah took Azariah--or Uzziah (Kg2 15:30; Ch2 26:1). The popular opposition had been personally directed against Amaziah as the author of their calamities, but it was not extended to his family or heir. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| All the people of Judah - The words imply that the conspiracy was one in which the general mass of the people did not participate. There was no confusion and trouble as on the occasion of the murder of Joash. Azariah ("the strength of Yahweh"), and Uzziah ("whom Yahweh assists"), were mere variants of one name. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
Azariah
Called Uzziah, (Ch2 26:1); (Isa 1:1). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Azariah - This Azariah is called Uzziah, Kg2 15:30, both names signifying the same thing for substance; that, God's help; and this, God's strength. But this was not done till twelve years after his father's death: so long the government was in the hands of protectors. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Took Azariah - He is also called Uzziah, Ch2 26:1. The former signifies, The help of the Lord; the latter, The strength of the Lord. |
