2 Chronicles 26:22 - Exposition

Isaiah the prophet . Isaiah the prophet asserts that his prophetic inspiration was in Uzziah's time ( Isaiah 1:1 ; Isaiah 6:1 ), or we should have taken for granted that, as he was alive in the time of Hezekiah, grandson to Uzziah, he wrote of Uzziah only from hearsay and previous records. It must be concluded, accordingly, that Isaiah's inspiration as a prophet was early in his own life, that the beginning of it dated not long before the end of Uzziah's career, and that his life was a prolonged one, while still the most part of the acts first and last of Uzziah , which he wrote, must have consisted of a compilation from other treatises and perhaps partly from tradition.
