Commentary on 2 Chronicles 26:6

Theological / Devotional

Against the Philistines. Verses 6-15 deal with Uzziah’s military adventures, his public works, and his strength in arms. This section is found only in Chronicles and is an important contribution to information regarding the nature of Uzziah’s reign. It is thought that “Azriau of Iauda” in the Assyrian records was Azariah (Uzziah) of Judah. If so, these records (see on 2 Kings 14:28 ; 16:5) confirm the picture given in the Bible of Uzziah’s military importance.
