If this be right, we must suppose that Uzziah reigned in Jerusalem for some time, while his father was in refuge at Lachish. Some years of history may be crowded into 2Ch 25:27<\/span>. The meaning of the present passage will be that Uzziah built Elath after he became sole and undisputed king.<\/p>\n Verse 2<\/span>. He built Eloth<\/B><\/I>] 2Kg 14:21<\/span>.

Besides,it indicates that the conquest occurred in the early part of hisreign, that it was important as a port, and that Hebrew merchantsmaintained the old trade between it and the countries of the East[BERTHEAU].<\/P><\/p>\n [See comments on 2Ch 26:1]<\/span>.<\/p>\n (2) He built.<\/strong>fie it was who built.<\/em><\/p>\n Eloth.<\/strong>Kings, Elath.<\/em> The Idumean port on the Red Sea.<\/p>\n The first four verses are identical with the parallel in Kings.
