{2 Kings 15:6} And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Azariah, 5838 and all x3605 that x834 he did, 6213 z8804 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah? 3063
Azariah:
Dr. Kennicott complains loudly here of "the corruption in the name of this king of Judah, who is expressed by four different names in this chapter: Ozriah, Oziah, Ozrihu, and Ozihu. Our oldest Hebrew manuscript relieves us here, by reading truly, in "In the twentyª² and seventhª yearª of Jeroboamª kingª of Israelª began Azariahª sonª of Amaziahª kingª of Judahª to reign.ª°" {2Kg 15:1} + "And the restª of the actsª of Azariah,ª and all¹ that¹ he did,ª° [are] they¹ not¹ writtenª° in¹ the bookª of the chroniclesªª of the kingsª of Judah?ª ... So Azariahª sleptª° with¹ his fathers;ª and they buriedª° him with¹ his fathersª in the cityª of David:ª and Jothamª his sonª reignedª° in his stead.¹" {2Kg 15:6-7}, Uzziah, where the printed text is differently corrupted. This reading is called true:
1. Because it is supported by the Syriac and Arabic versions in these three verses.
2. Because the printed text itself has it so in "In the secondª yearª of Pekahª the sonª of Remaliahª kingª of Israelª began Jothamª the sonª of Uzziahª kingª of Judahª to reign.ª°" {2Kg 15:32} and "And he didª° [that which was] rightª in the sightª of the LORD:ª he didª° according to all¹ that¹ his fatherª Uzziahª had done.ª°" {2Kg 15:34} of this very chapter.
3. Because it is so expressed in the parallel place in Chronicles.
4. Because it is not Αζαριας, Azarias, but Οζιας, Ozias (Uzziah) in St. Matthew's genealogy.
they not written:
"And the restª of the actsª of Amaziah,ª [are] they¹ not¹ writtenª° in¹ the bookª of the chroniclesªª of the kingsª of Judah?ª" {2Kg 14:18} + "And he soughtª°¹ Godª in the daysª of Zechariah,ª who had understandingª° in the visionsª° of God:ª and as long asª he soughtª°¹ the LORD,ª Godª made him to prosper.ª° ... And he madeª° in Jerusalemª engines,ª inventedª by cunning men,ª° to be¹ on¹ the towersª and upon¹ the bulwarks,ª to shootª° arrowsª and greatª stonesª withal. And his nameª spreadª° far abroad;ª¹¹ for¹ he was marvellouslyª° helped,ª° tillª¹ he was strong.ª°" {2Ch 26:5-15}
