<p> A king of Judah, 2 Kings 15:1-7 . In 2 Chronicles 26:1-23 , and elsewhere, he is called Uzziah. He began to reign at sixteen years of age, B. C. 806. The first part of his reign was prosperous and happy; but afterwards, presuming to offer incense in the temple, he was smitten with leprosy, and continued a leper till his death, 2 Chronicles 26:16 - 23 . This name was very common among the Jews, and was borne by many briefly referred to in Scripture. </p> | |||

Son of [[Ahimaaz]] ( 1 Chronicles 6:9), succeeded [[Zadok]] his grandfather in the high priesthood in Solomon's reign, Ahimaaz having died before Zadok ( 1 Chronicles 6:10, the "he" refers to the [[Azariah]] in 1 Chronicles 6:9). He officiated at the consecration of Solomon's temple, and was the first high priest that ministered in it. </p> <p> 3. Isaiah's contemporary, who with fourscore priests withstood so faithfully king [[Uzziah]] when burning in. tense ( 2 Chronicles 26:17-20). </p> <p> 4. Grandson of the Azariah 2, high priest under [[Abijah]] and Asa, as [[Amariah]] his son was in the days of [[Jehoshaphat]] son of Asa. </p> <p> 5. Azariah, son of Oded, also called simply Oded, a prophet along with Hanani; encouraged Asa in his religious reformation ( 2 Chronicles 15:1-8). </p> <p> 6. [[Chief]] priest of the house of Zadok, in Hezekiah's reign, who appointed chambers in the house of the Lord for storing the tithes and offerings, on which were dependent the attendance of the priests at the temple services ( Nehemiah 10:35-39; Nehemiah 12:27-80; Nehemiah 12:44-47; 2 Chronicles 31:10-13). </p> <p> 7. 1 Chronicles 6:13; Ezra 7:1; 2 Kings 25:18. </p> <p> 8.

Several others: 1 Chronicles 6:36 = Ezra, 1 Chronicles 9:11; Nehemiah 3:23-24; Nehemiah 8:7; 2 Chronicles 29:12; 2 Chronicles 28:12; compare Jeremiah 43:2; Nehemiah 12:32-33; 1 Chronicles 2:38-39; Azariah whose name proves that the genealogy in 1 Chronicles 2:36-41 was made in Hezekiah's reign, for Azariah ( 1 Chronicles 2:38) appears from 2 Chronicles 23:1; 2 Chronicles 24:1, to have been captain when [[Joash]] was seven years old, i.e. about one generation elder than Joash. After Azariah in that genealogy are six generations, ending with Elishama; and from Joash to Hezekiah also six; therefore [[Elishama]] was contemporary with Hezekiah. [[Zabad]] in 1 Chronicles 2:36-37 (compare 1 Chronicles 11:41) was contemporary of David. </p> <p> 11. Uzziah, meaning much the same, the might of Jehovah ( 2 Kings 14:21; 2 Kings 15:1-6). </p> | |||

<p> [[Azariah]] ( ăs-a-r î'ah), whom [[Jehovah]] helps. 2 Kings 14:21. There are 24 persons of this name mentioned in the Old Testament. The most distinguished of them was Azariah (called also Uzziah), the son and successor of Amaziah, on the throne of Judah. He was, in many respects, an excellent king; but, being elated by his prosperity, he aspired to execute the office of a priest, and to offer incense in the temple. In this he was resisted by the priests, and while enraged by their interference, the leprosy broke out upon his forehead, and remained upon him until the day of his death; so that he was obliged to spend the latter part of his life in solitude. 2 Chronicles 26:21. </p> | |||

<p> Azari'ah. (whom the Lord helps). A common name in Hebrew, and especially in the families of the priests of the line of Eleazar, whose name has precisely the same meaning as Azariah. It is nearly identical, and is often confounded, with Ezra as well as with [[Zerahiah]] and Seraiah. The principal persons who bore this name were - </p> <p> 1. Son of Ahimaaz. 1 Chronicles 6:9. He appears from 1 Kings 4:2 to have succeeded Zadok, his grandfather, in the high priesthood, in the reign of Solomon, [[Ahimaaz]] having died before Zadok. (B.C. About 1000). See [[Ahimaaz]] . </p> <p> 2. A chief officer of Solomon's, the son of Nathan, perhaps David's grandson. 1 Kings 4:5. </p> <p> 3. [[Tenth]] king of Judah, more frequently called Uzziah. 2 Kings 14:21; 2 Kings 15:1; 2 Kings 15:6; 2 Kings 15:8; 2 Kings 15:17; 2 Kings 15:23; 2 Kings 15:27; 1 Chronicles 8:12. </p> <p> 4. Son of Ethan, of the sons of Zerah, where, perhaps, Zerahiah is the more probable reading. 1 Chronicles 2:8. </p> <p> 5. Son of Jehu of the family of the Jerahmeelites, and descended from [[Jarha]] the [[Egyptian]] slave of Sheshan. 1 Chronicles 2:38-39. He was probably one of the captains of hundreds in the time of [[Athaliah]] mentioned in 2 Chronicles 23:1. (B.C. 886). </p> <p> 6. The son of Johanan. 1 Chronicles 6:10 He must have been high priest in the reign of [[Abijah]] and Asa. (B.C. 939). </p> <p> 7. Another [[Azariah]] is inserted between Hilkiah, in Josiah's reign, and [[Seraiah]] who was put to death by Nebuchadnezzar, in 1 Chronicles 6:13-15. </p> <p> 8. Son of Zephaniah, a Kohathite, and ancestor of Samuel the prophet. 1 Chronicles 6:36. [[Apparently]] the same as [[Uzziah]] in 1 Chronicles 6:24. </p> <p> 9. Azariah; the son of Oded, 2 Chronicles 15:1 called simply Oded in , was a remarkable prophet in the days of King Asa, and a contemporary of Azariah the son of [[Johanan]] the high priest, and of [[Hanani]] the seer. (B.C. 939). </p> <p> 10. Son of [[Jehoshaphat]] king of Judah. 2 Chronicles 21:2. (B.C.910). </p> <p> 11. Another son of Jehoshaphat, and brother of the preceding. 2 Chronicles 21:2. </p> <p> 12. In 2 Chronicles 22:6, Azariah is a clerical error for Ahaziah. </p> <p> 13. Son of Jeroham, one of the captains of [[Judah]] in the time of Athaliah. 2 Chronicles 23:1. </p> <p> 14. The high priest in the reign of Uzziah king of Judah. The most memorable event of his life is that which is recorded in 2 Chronicles 26:17-20. (B.C. 810). Azariah was contemporary with Isaiah the prophet and with Amos and Joel. </p> <p> 15. Son of Johanan, one of the captains of [[Ephraim]] in the reign of Ahaz. 2 Chronicles 28:12. </p> <p> 16. A Kohathite, father of Joel, in the reign of Hezekiah. 2 Chronicles 29:12. (B.C. 726). </p> <p> 17. A Merarite, son of Jehalelel, in the time of Hezekiah. 2 Chronicles 29:12. </p> <p> 18. The high priest in the days of Hezekiah. 2 Chronicles 31:10; 2 Chronicles 31:13. He appears to have co operated zealously with the king in that thorough purification of the [[Temple]] and restoration of the Temple service, which was so conspicuous a feature in his reign. He succeeded Urijah, who was high priest in the reign of Ahaz. </p> <p> 19. Son of [[Maaseiah]] who repaired part of the wall of [[Jerusalem]] in the time of Nehemiah. Nehemiah 3:23-24. (B.C. 446-410). </p> <p> 20. One of the leaders of the children of the province who went up from [[Babylon]] with Zerubbabel. Nehemiah 7:7. </p> <p> 21. One of the [[Levites]] who assisted Ezra in instructing the people in the knowledge of the law. Nehemiah 8:7. </p> <p> 22. One of the priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah Nehemiah 10:2 and probably the same with the Azariah who assisted in the dedication of the city wall. Nehemiah 12:33. </p> <p> 23. Jeremiah 13:2. (Jezaniah). </p> <p> 24. The original name of Abednego. Daniel 1:6; Daniel 1:7; Daniel 1:11; Daniel 1:19. He appears to have been of the seed-royal of Judah. (B.C. 603). </p> | |||

<p> or UZZIAH, king of Judah, son of Amaziah. He began to reign at the age of sixteen years, and reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; his mother's name being Jecholiah, 2 Kings 15. [[Azariah]] did that which was right in the sight of the Lord; nevertheless he did not destroy the high places; and, against the express prohibition of God, the people continued to sacrifice there. Having taken upon him to offer incense in the temple, which office belonged entirely to the priests, he was struck with a leprosy, and continued without the city, separated from other men until the day of his death, 2 Chronicles 26. [[Josephus]] says, that upon this occasion a great earthquake happened; and that the temple opening at the top, a ray of light darted upon the king's forehead, the very moment he took the censer into his hand, and he instantly became a leper; nay, that the earthquake was so very violent, that it tore in sunder a mountain west of Jerusalem, and rolled one half of it over and over to the distance of four furlongs, till at length it was stopped by another mountain which stood over against it; but choked up the highway, and covered the king's gardens with dust. This is what Josephus adds to the history related in the Chronicles; but the truth of it may be justly suspected. We know, indeed, that there was a very great earthquake in the reign of Uzziah; for Amos 1:1 , and Zechariah 14:5 , make mention of it: however, it is not certain that it happened at the very time that [[Uzziah]] took upon him to offer incense. </p> <p> During the time that Uzziah was a leper, his son Jotham, as his father's viceroy, took the public administration upon himself, and succeeded him after his death, which happened in the fifty-second year of his reign. A.M. 3246. He was not buried in the royal sepulchre; but in the same field, at some distance, on account of his leprosy. </p> <p> The first part of Uzziah's reign was very successful: he obtained great advantages over the Philistines, Ammonites, and Arabians. He made additions to the fortifications at Jerusalem, and always kept an army on foot of three hundred and seven thousand men, and upwards, 2 Chronicles 26; and he had great magazines, well stored with all sorts of arms, as well offensive as defensive; and he was a great lover of agriculture. </p> | |||

B.C. post 1046. </p> <p> 3. A person named as son of the high-priest Zadok, and an officer in the cabinet of [[Solomon]] ( 1 Kings 4:2). B.C. cir. 1000. He is perhaps the same, however, with No. 6 below. </p> <p> 4. A son of [[Nathan]] and captain of King Solomon's guards ( 1 Kings 4:5). B.C. cir. 1000. </p> <p> 5. A prophet who met King Asa on his return from a great victory over the [[Cushite]] king [[Zerah]] ( 2 Chronicles 15:1, where he is called the son of Oded, but Oded simply in 2 Chronicles 15:8). See AsA. B.C. 939. He powerfully stirred up the spirit of Asa, and of the people of Judah and Benjamin, in a brief but pithy prophecy, which has been preserved, to put away all idolatrous worship, and to restore the altar of the one true God before the porch of the Temple. Great numbers of Israelites from Ephraim, and Manasseh, and Simeon, and all Israel, joined in the national reformation, to the great strengthening of the kingdom; and a season of rest and great prosperity ensued. </p> <p> 6. A high-priest, son of [[Ahimaaz]] and father (grandfather) of [[Johanan]] ( 1 Chronicles 6:9), perhaps the father of Amariah, who lived under Jehoshaphat, king of Judah ( 2 Chronicles 19:11). B.C. ante 912. (See [[High-Priest]]). </p> <p> 7. One of the sons of king [[Jehoshaphat]] ( 2 Chronicles 21:2, where the name is repeated, as if he had two sons of this name). B.C. post 912. </p> <p> 8. Otherwise called AHAZIAH (See [[Ahaziah]]) (q.v.), king of Judah ( 2 Chronicles 22:6). </p> <p> 9. A son of Jeroham, who joined [[Jehoiada]] in his pious efforts to restore the worship of the Temple, and put down the usurpation of [[Athaliah]] ( 2 Chronicles 23:1). B.C.877. </p> <p> 10. A son of Obed, another "captain of a hundred," who joined Jehoiada in the same enterprise ( 2 Chronicles 23:1). B.C. 877. </p> <p> 11. A person named as son of Johanan and father of another Amariah, a high-priest ( 1 Chronicles 6:10-11), whom some suppose the same as ZECHARIAH, son of Jehoiada, who was killed in the reign of [[Joash]] of Judah ( 2 Chronicles 24:20-22). In Ezra 7:3, either his or a former person's father is called Mesaroth. B C. cir. 809. (See [[High-Priest]]). From the date he appears to be the same with the high-priest who opposed King [[Uzziah]] (q.v.) in offering incense to [[Jehovah]] ( 2 Chronicles 26:17; 2 Chronicles 26:20). B.C. 781. 12. Otherwise called UZZIAH (See [[Uzziah]]) (q.v.), king of Judah, ( 2 Kings 14:21; 2 Kings 15:1; 2 Kings 15:6-8; 2 Kings 15:17; 2 Kings 15:23; 2 Kings 15:27; 1 Chronicles 3:12, etc.). </p> <p> 13. A son of Johanan and chief of the tribe of Ephraim, one of those that protested against enslaving their captive brethren of [[Jerusalem]] during the reign of Ahaz ( 2 Chronicles 28:12). B.C. 739. </p> <p> 14. A Levite, son of Zephaniah and father of Joel ( 1 Chronicles 6:36). In 1 Chronicles 6:24 he is called UZZIAH, the son of [[Uriel]] and father of Shaul. It appears from 2 Chronicles 29:12, that his son Joel lived under Hezekiah. B.C. ante 726. </p> <p> 15. A high-priest in the time of [[Hezekiah]] ( 2 Chronicles 31:10; 2 Chronicles 31:13). B.C. 726. He seems to be the same incorrectly called AHITUB in 1 Chronicles 6:11-12. He appears to have co-operated zealously with the king in that throrough purification of the [[Temple]] and restoration of the Temple services which was so conspicuous an event in Hezekiah's reign. He especially interested himself in providing chambers in the house of the Lord in which to stow the tithes, and offerings, and consecrated things for the use of the priests and Levites, and in appointing overseers to have the charge of them. As the attendance of priests and [[Levites]] and the maintenance of the Temple services depended entirely upon the supply of such offerings, whenever the people neglected them the priests and Levites were forced to disperse themselves to their villages, and so the house of God was deserted (comp. Nehemiah 10:35-39; Nehemiah 12:27-30; Nehemiah 12:44-47). </p> <p> 16. The son of [[Hilkiah]] and father of Seraiah, which latter was the last high- priest before the captivity ( 1 Chronicles 6:13-14; 1 Chronicles 9:11; Ezra 7:1; Ezra 7:3). B.C. cir. 600. </p> <p> 17. One of the " ‘ proud men" who rebuked Jeremiah for advising the people that remained in [[Palestine]] after the expatriation to [[Babylon]] not to retire into Egypt, and who took the prophet himself and [[Baruch]] along with them to that country ( Jeremiah 43:2-7). B.C. 587. </p> <p> 18. The [[Hebrew]] name of ABEDNEGO (See [[Abednego]]) (q.v.), one of Daniel's three friends who were cast into the fiery furnace ( Daniel 1:7; Daniel 3:9). He appears to have been of the royal lineage of Judah, and for this reason selected, with Daniel and his two other companions, for Nebuchadnezzar's especial service. The three children, as they were called, were remarkable for their beauty, and wisdom, and knowledge, and intelligence. They were no less remarkable for their piety, their strict adherence to the law of Moses, and the steadfast ness of their faith, even in the face of death, and their wonderful deliverance. B.C. 603. (See Daniel). </p> <p> 19 One of the nobles who returned from Babylon ( Nehemiah 7:7; Nehemiah 12:33), and joined in the oath of fidelity to the law ( Nehemiah 10:2), and assisted in interpreting it to the people ( Nehemiah 8:7). His father's name was Maaseiah, and he repaired that part of the wall of Jerusalem opposite his house ( Nehemiah 3:23-24). In Ezra 2:2, he is called SERAIAH. B.C. 446-410. </p> | |||
