G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 15:1-38

The throne of Judah was occupied by Azariah, the Uzziah of Isaiah. In the main, his reign was characterized by obedience to the divine will, yet the people continued in sin, and the king was smitten with leprosy.

To the throne of Israel man succeeded man by way of murder. Zechariah was slain by Shallurn, who... read more

Judah, however, in their mountain fastness, had never really been bothered... read more

AZARIAH AND JOTHAM IN JUDAH, AND THE LAST SIX KINGS IN ISRAELCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—2 Kings 15:1.—Azariah, son of Amaziah, king of Judah—This king is the Uzziah of 2 Chronicles 26:0. See there the more extended explanation of his leprosy. His act was the assumption of sacerdotal functions, which the Lord had restricted to the Levitical priesthood.
