Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 26:1-15

1-15 As long as Uzziah sought the Lord, and minded religion, God made him to prosper. Those only prosper whom God makes to prosper; for prosperity is his gift. Many have owned, that as long as they sought the Lord, and kept close to their duty, they prospered; but when they forsook God, every thing went cross. God never continues either to bless the indolent or to withhold his blessing from the diligent. He will never suffer any to seek his face in vain. Uzziah's name was famed throughout all... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Chronicles 26:1-15

God Made Him to Prosper 2 Chronicles 26:1-15 The reign of Uzziah was, to all appearance, extremely prosperous; but his personal character deteriorated, as though it could not bear an unbroken succession of prosperity. Proofs of his genius for empire are furnished by his successful wars, 2 Chronicles 26:6-7 , his widespread fame, 2 Chronicles 26:8 , his buildings and husbandry, 2 Chronicles 26:9-10 , and his armies and engines of war, 2 Chronicles 26:11 ; 2 Chronicles 26:15 . In all these “he... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 26:1-23

The story of Uzziah's long reign of fifty-two years is most interesting and remarkable. He was a man of strong character, and the early part of his occupancy of the throne was characterized by true prosperity. He was at once victorious in his campaigns against the enemies of the people, and remarkably successful in his internal development of the resources of the nation. A man of war, and a lover of husbandry, he was an ideal ruler. During these early years he went quietly forward in... read more

2 Chronicles 26:1-Isaiah : . The Reign of Uzziah (see notes on 2 Kings 14:21 to 2 Kings 15:7).— The Chronicler amplifies considerably the account of this reign in 2 K. which is very meagre: his additions are in all probability based, in the main, upon some historical source, since fuller records of this reign, which was one of the longest in the history of Judah, must have been in existence. 2 Chronicles 26:1 .
