Cross References

ReferenceText (BSB)
1 2 Chronicles 26:5–15 He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success. Uzziah went out to wage war against the Philistines, and he tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities near Ashdod and among the Philistines. God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites. The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful. Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them. Since he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain, he built towers in the desert and dug many cisterns. And since he was a lover of the soil, he had farmers and vinedressers in the hill country and in the fertile fields. Uzziah had an army ready for battle that went out to war by assigned divisions, as recorded by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officers. The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of valor was 2,600. Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies. Uzziah supplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones. And in Jerusalem he made skillfully designed devices to shoot arrows and catapult large stones from the towers and corners. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was helped tremendously so that he became powerful.

2 Kings 15:6 Summary

[This verse tells us that there is more to King Azariah's story than what is written in Second Kings, and that we can find more information in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. Unfortunately, this book has been lost to us, but it reminds us that God is always working, even when we do not see the full picture, as seen in Romans 11:33. We can trust in His sovereignty and faithfulness, just like Azariah did, and leave a legacy of obedience for others to follow, as encouraged in Psalm 78:4.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that the rest of the acts of Azariah are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

This refers to a historical record of the kings of Judah, which is now lost to us, but was likely a detailed account of the events and decisions of King Azariah's reign, as mentioned in Second Kings 8:23 and First Chronicles 27:24.

Why does the Bible not provide more details about Azariah's accomplishments?

The Bible often summarizes the deeds of kings, as seen in Second Kings 13:12, and points readers to other sources for more information, emphasizing the spiritual aspects of their reigns and the fulfillment of God's plans, as in Isaiah 46:10.

What can we learn from the fact that Azariah's story is not fully told in the Bible?

This reminds us that God's Word is not a comprehensive history of every event, but a spiritual record, as stated in John 20:31, focusing on the relationship between God and humanity, and the fulfillment of His promises, as seen in Acts 3:21.

How does this verse relate to the rest of Second Kings 15?

This verse serves as a transition, concluding the account of Azariah's reign and preparing the reader for the reign of his son Jotham, as described in Second Kings 15:32-38, and the introduction of the king of Israel, Zechariah, in Second Kings 15:8-12.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that God is still working in my life, even if I do not see the full picture of His plans?
  2. How can I trust in God's sovereignty, even when I do not understand the events unfolding around me?
  3. In what ways can I, like Azariah, leave a legacy of faith and obedience to God for future generations to follow?
  4. What are some 'chronicles' or records that I can keep to remind myself and others of God's faithfulness in my life?

Now the rest of the acts of Azariah.] Called also Uzziah. Are they not written?] Written they were also by the prophet Isaiah. Of the earthquake in this king’ s days, see Amos 1:1 Zechariah 14:5.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 15:6

(6) The rest of the acts of Azariah.—Such as his wars with the Philistines and Arabs, his improvements in the organisation of the army and the defences of the capital, his fondness for husbandry and cattle-breeding, and his success in all these directions, as well as his intrusion into the Sanctuary to offer incense at the golden altar. (See 2 Chronicles 25 and the Notes there.)

Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 15:6

6. the rest of the acts of Azariah] The record of these is said by the Chronicler (2 Chronicles 26:22) to have been written, first and last, by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. We know from Isaiah 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. 1 Chronicles 29:29; 2 Chronicles 9:29; 2 Chronicles 12:15; 2 Chronicles 13:22; 2 Chronicles 20:34; 2 Chronicles 26:22.
