That Jotham succeeded his father Uzziah, and reigned sixteen years, agreeth with 2Ch 26:23<\/span>, and that Ahaz his son succeeded him, agreeth with 2Ch 27:9<\/span>; he also reigned sixteen years, and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead, 2Ch 28:27<\/span>. Some here have cavilled at the truth of the history of holy writ, because it appeareth from 2Ki 16:2<\/span> that Ahaz died at thirty-six years of age, and that Hezekiah began to reign at twenty-five years of age doth also appear from 2Ch 29:1<\/span>, whence it appeareth that Hezekiah must be born when his father was but eleven years of age, which they think improbable: but those who will question the truth of what we have so good a proof of as the revelation of holy writ is, are obliged not only to tell us of things in it that are improbable to their apprehensions, but either in nature impossible, or at least inconsistent with some other piece of Divine revelation. Of the latter sort, we hear of nothing objected in this case. Now though with us it be not ordinary for persons at that age to beget children, yet that it is not impossible in nature, nor more than hath happened in the world sometimes, Spanhemius hath largely proved in his Dubia Evangelica. Dub. 5, and that by no less authorities than those of Hierome amongst the ancients, and the learned Scaliger amongst the more modern writers. It is what may be. The Scripture telleth us it was so; that is enough for us, though it be not a thing very ordinary. <\/P> <\/p>\n And Ozias begat Joatham<\/strong>,…. Called Jotham, 2Ki 15:7<\/span> him Ozias begat of Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok, 2Ki 15:33<\/span>.<\/p>\n And Joatham begat Achaz<\/strong>, or Ahaz, 2Ki 15:38<\/span> to him the sign was given, and the famous prophecy of the Messiah, Isa 7:14<\/span>.<\/p>\n And Achaz begat Ezekias<\/strong>, or Hezekiah, 2Ki 16:20<\/span> him Ahaz begat of Abi, the daughter of Zachariah, 2Ki 18:2<\/span>. He was a very religious king, and had that singular favour from God to have fifteen years added to his days, Isa 38:5<\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “And Ozias beget Joatham;” <\/strong>(Ozias de egennesen ton loatham) “Thereafter Ozias begat Joatham;” twenty-second <\/strong>generation of Faith-line promise of Abraham and Kingly lineage of the Davidic promise; The name Joatham is a Greek term for Jotham which means “Jehovah is upright;” He was king of Judah in Jerusalem for sixteen years, and a good king, 2Ki 15:32-36<\/span>; 2Ch 27:1-9<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “And Jotham begat Achez;”<\/strong> (loatham de egennesen ton Achaz) “Then or thereafter Joatham’ begat Achaz;” the twenty-third<\/strong> generation of Abrahamic Faith-line of promise and of the Davidic covenant kingly lineage. Achaz is a Gk. form of Ahaz which means “possessor.” He was a wicked king over Judah for sixteen years, a defiler of temple vessels and worshipper of heathen gods, 2Ki 16:1-20<\/span>; 2Ch 28:1-27<\/span>.<\/p>\n 3) “And Achaz begat Ezekias;”<\/strong> (Achaz de egennesen ton Hezekian) “Then Achez begat Hezekias;” twenty-fourth<\/strong> generation of the Abrahamic covenant of Faithline and of the Davidic kingly covenant lineage. The name Ezekias is the same person as Hezekiah which means “the mighty of Jehovah.” He was be best king Judah had from David to Jesus Christ; for a period of twenty-nine years he reigned in Jerusalem, 2Ki 18:1-7<\/span>; 2Ki 20:20-21<\/span>; 2Ch 32:32-33<\/span>.<\/p>\n (9) Ozias.Ozias is, of course, the Uzziah of the Old Testament. Three names are omitted between Joram and this kingviz., Ahaziah, Joash, Amaziah. Apparently the motive for the omission was simply the desire of bringing the names in each period into which the genealogy is divided to the arbitrary standard of fourteen. Possibly, however, as it was thus necessary to omit three names, the choice of these may have been determined by the fact that they belonged to the time of Athaliahs disastrous influence in the history of the monarchy of Judah. We learn from this fact that the words A begat B are not to be taken literally, but are simply an expression of the fact of succession with or without intermediate links.<\/p>\n 9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 9. And Ozias begat Joatham<\/strong> ] A pious prince, but not very prosperous. Grace is not given to any as a target against outward affliction.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n And Joatham begat Achaz<\/strong> ] A sturdy stigmatic, a branded rebel. The more he was distressed, the more he trespassed. “This is that Ahaz,” 2Ch 28:22<\/span> . How many (today) are humbled, yet not humble! low, but not lowly! Humiliantur, et humiles non sunt<\/em> (Bern. in Cantic.). Qui nec fractis cervicibus inclinantur, <\/em> as Jerome complaineth: quos multo facilius fregeris quam flexeris, <\/em> as another hath it. These are like the creature called Monoceros, who may he killed, but not caught. Interimi potest, capi non potest<\/em> (Plin.). Plectimur a Deo, <\/em> saith Salvian, nec flectimur tamen: corripimur, sed non corrigimar.<\/em> But if men harden their hearts against correction, God will harden his hand, and hasten their destruction.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Achaz begat Ezekias<\/strong> ] Who stands between his father Ahaz and his son Manasseh, as a lily between two thorns, or as a fuller between two colliers; or as that wretched Cardinal of Toledo in his Preface before the Bible, printed at Complutum in Spain, said that he set the Vulgate Latin between the Hebrew and Greek as Christ was set between two thieves. Here observe (by the way) that Judah had some interchange of good princes, Israel none; and that under religious princes the people were ever religious; under wicked princes, wicked. Most people will be of the king’s religion, whatever that may be, as the Melchites were of old (Nicephorus), and the Papists still, if Mr Rogers (our protomartyr in Queen Mary’s days) may be believed. The Papists, saith he, apply themselves to the present state, yea, if the state should change ten times in the year, they would be ever ready at hand to change with it, and so follow the cry, and rather utterly forsake God, and be of no religion, than that they would forego lust or living for God or religion (Acts and Mon.). <\/p>\n Joatham = Jotham (2Ki 15:7. 2Ch 26:23). <\/p>\n Achaz = Ahaz (2Ki 15:38. 2Ch 27:9). <\/p>\n Ezekias = Hezekiah (2Ki 16:20. 2Ch 28:27). <\/p>\n Joatham: 2Ki 15:7, 2Ki 15:32-38, 1Ch 3:11-13, 2Ch 26:21, 2Ch 27:1-9, Jotham <\/p>\n Achaz: 2Ki 15:38, 2Ki 16:1-20, 2Ch 27:9, 2Ch 28:1-27, Isa 7:1-13, Ahaz <\/p>\n Ezekias: 2Ki 16:20, 2Ki 18:1 – 2Ki 20:21, 2Ch 28:27, 2Ch 29:1 – 2Ch 32:33, Isa 36:1 – Isa 39:8, Hezekiah <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ki 14:21 – Azariah 2Ki 15:13 – Uzziah 1Ch 3:12 – Azariah 1Ch 3:13 – Ahaz 2Ch 26:1 – Uzziah Amo 1:1 – in the<\/p>\n 1:9<\/p>\n Verse 9.
