Notes

  • The name Uzziah means Yahweh is my strength.

  • fifty-two years: Uzziah reigned from 792 to 740 BC. During this time, Assyria was weakening, and Israel and Judah had friendly relations. Uzziah's strong faith brought God's blessing, leading to Judah's greatest prosperity since Solomon's time (2 Chronicles 26:9–10).
