"And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And all the people of Judah took Azariah,.... Called Uzziah in the next chapter, and so in the book of Chronicles; both names signifying much the same, the one "the
help of the Lord", the other "the strength of the Lord": (which was sixteen years old;) yet as he began to reign in the twenty seventh year of Jeroboam, Kg2 15:1 and Jeroboam began to reign in the fifteenth yaer of Amaziah, Kg2 14:23 , he could be but four years of age, for the solution of which; see Gill on Kg2 15:1 , and made him king instead of his father Amaziah; which was after his death, and not when he fled to Lachish, as Kimchi thinks.
