Who is Uzziah?
UZZI'AH
(might of Jehovah). 1. The son and successor of Amaziah, king of Judah; called Azariah in 2 Kgs 14:21 and elsewhere; began to reign at sixteen, and reigned fifty-two years, b.c. 808-756. His career was most prosperous. He walked in the ways of his father David, and as a consequence was blessed with victory over his enemies and great fame and love. But he was puffed up by success so long continued, and presumed to burn incense on the altar like the priests. Azariah, the high priest, and eighty others opposed him; but God most effectually checked him by making him a leper, dwelling in a separate house until death. 2 Kgs 15:1-7; 2 Chr 26. A great earthquake occurred in his reign. Am 1:1; Zech 14:5. 2. A Levite. 1 Chr 6:24. 3. The father of one of David's officers. 1 Chr 27:25. 4. A priest. Ezr 10:21. 5. A Judite. Neh 11:4.
