Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Kings 15:6
And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6. the rest of the acts of Azariah ] The record of these is said by the Chronicler (2Ch 26:22) to have been written, first and last, by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. We know from Isa 6:1 that the great vision of the Lord in His glory was seen by Isaiah in the year of Azariah’s death, so that the prophet was living at the time when the history of the reign was completed, and we can see from other notices that the prophets not unfrequently became the historians of the period in which they lived. Cf. 1Ch 29:29; 2Ch 9:29; 2Ch 12:15 ; 2Ch 13:22; 2Ch 20:34; 2Ch 26:22.

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 2Ki 15:1, 2Ki 15:6, 2Ki 15:7, 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 2Ki 15:32 and 2Ki 15:34 of this very chapter.
3. Because it is so expressed in the parallel place in Chronicles.
