Notes

2 Chronicles 26:6–8

These verses summarize Uzziah’s international achievements. He conquered areas to the west, south, and southeast, but not to the north, where Jeroboam II’s kingdom was strong (2 Kings 14:23–29). With God's guidance (2 Chronicles 26:7), Uzziah aimed to control the coastal highway and build towns in the conquered areas.
