14:21
And all the people of Juda took Azarias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father, Amasias.
*H And all the people of Juda took his son Ozias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of Amasias his father.
Ver. 1. Ozias, called Azarias (4 K. xiv. 21. C.) improperly. H.
Καὶ ἔλαβε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τὸν Ὀζίαν, καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς ἑκκαίδεκα ἐτῶν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν αὐτὸν ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀμασίου.

26:2 Ipse aedificavit Ailath, et restituit eam ditioni Juda, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis.
*H He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.
Ver. 2. Juda, till the reign of Achaz. 4 K. xvi. 6. It had revolted under Joram. C.
Αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Αἰλάθ, αὐτὸς ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ἰούδα, μετὰ τὸ κοιμηθῆναι τὸν βασιλέα μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ.

26:3 Sedecim annorum erat Ozias cum regnare coepisset, et quinquaginta duobus annis regnavit in Jerusalem : nomen matris ejus Jechelia de Jerusalem.
Ozias was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
Υἱὸς ἑκκαίδεκα ἐτῶν ἐβασίλευσεν Ὀζίας, καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ δύο ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰεχελία ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλήμ.

26:4 Fecitque quod erat rectum in oculis Domini, juxta omnia quae fecerat Amasias pater ejus.
*H And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father had done.
Ver. 4. Done. And was successful, as long as he attended to the high priest. Num. xxvii. 21. W.
Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν Ἀμασίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

26:5 Et exquisivit Dominum in diebus Zachariae intelligentis et videntis Deum : cumque requireret Dominum, direxit eum in omnibus.
*H And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias that understood and saw God: and as long as he sought the Lord, he directed him in all things.
Ver. 5. God, or who had the gift of intelligence and prophecy from God. Heb. "who was intelligent in the visions of God." Others have read birath, with the Sept. "in the fear;" or Chal. &c. "instructing in the fear of the Lord." The Jews childishly understand Zacharias to mean the king himself, in the early part of his reign. Others suppose the priest, who was slain by Joas, is designated. Lyran. — But this was rather his son (T. Cajet. C.) and successor, as well as a prophet, who had therefore a more perfect knowledge of God; though none can comprehend his being. H.
Καὶ ἦν ἐκζητῶν τὸν Κύριον ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ζαχαρίου τοῦ συνιόντος ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἐζήτησε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ εὐώδωσεν αὐτῷ Κύριος.

26:6 Denique egressus est, et pugnavit contra Philisthiim, et destruxit murum Geth, et murum Jabniae, murumque Azoti : aedificavit quoque oppida in Azoto et in Philisthiim.
*H Moreover he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Geth, and the wall of Jabnia, and the wall of Azotus: and he built towns in Azotus, and among the Philistines.
Ver. 6. In. Prot. "about Ashdod." Sept. "he built (or repaired) the cities of Azotus," to keep under the Philistines, who had revolted under Joram. C. xxi. 16.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθε καὶ ἐπολέμησε πρὸς τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ κατέσπασε τὰ τείχη Γὲθ, καὶ τὰ τείχη Ἰαβνὴρ, καὶ τὰ τείχη Ἀζώτου, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πόλεις Ἀζώτου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις.

26:7 Et adjuvit eum Deus contra Philisthiim, et contra Arabes qui habitabant in Gurbaal, et contra Ammonitas.
*H And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
Ver. 7. Gurbaal. Gerara, (S. Jer. Trad.) or Gebal. Ps. lxxxii. 8. Sept. "the rock," or Petra, in Arabia, where Stephanus places the Gabalenes. — Ammonites. Heb. mehunim. Sept. "Mineans," (C. xx. 1. H.) upon the Red Sea, (Steph.) or Mediterranean, (Pliny vi. 28,) or in Arabia Felix. Strabo. M.
Καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς Ἄραβας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς Μιναίους.

26:8 Appendebantque Ammonitae munera Oziae : et divulgatum est nomen ejus usque ad introitum Aegypti propter crebras victorias.
*H And the Ammonites gave gifts to Ozias: and his name was spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt for his frequent victories.
Ver. 8. Gifts. Tribute. C. xxvii. 5. C. — Victories. Prot. "he strengthened himself exceedingly." H.
Καὶ ἔδωκαν οἱ Μιναῖοι δῶρα τῷ Ὀζίᾳ, καὶ ἦν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἕως εἰσόδου Αἰγύπτου, ὅτι κατίσχυσεν ἕως ἄνω.

26:9 Aedificavitque Ozias turres in Jerusalem super portam anguli, et super portam vallis, et reliquas in eodem muri latere, firmavitque eas.
*H And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem over the gate of the corner, and over the gate of the valley, and the rest, in the same side of the wall, and fortified them.
Ver. 9. Corner. Repairing what Joas had demolished. 4 K. xiv. 13. T.
Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν Ὀζίας πύργους ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τῆς γωνίας καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τῆς φάραγγος, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν γενιῶν, καὶ κατίσχυσε.

26:10 Exstruxit etiam turres in solitudine, et effodit cisternas plurimas, eo quod haberet multa pecora tam in campestribus quam in eremi vastitate : vineas quoque habuit et vinitores, in montibus et in Carmelo : erat quippe homo agriculturae deditus.
*H And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle both in the plains, and in the waste of the desert: he had also vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was a man that loved husbandry.
Ver. 10. Wilderness, for the protection of shepherds. 4 K. xvii. 9. — Plains. Heb. "valleys, and in the plains husbandmen, and vinedressers in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he loved the earth, or husbandry," like David. 1 Par. xvii. 25. &c. — Carmel, means, "the vine of God;" as both the mount in Juda, where Nabal resided, and that on the Mediterranean Sea, were famous for wine. Ozias probably cultivated the former mountain. C.
Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πύργους ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἐλατόμησε λάκκους πολλοὺς, ὅτι κτήνη πολλὰ ὑπῆρχεν αὐτῷ ἐν σεφηλᾷ· καὶ ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ, καὶ ἀμπελουργοὶ ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ καὶ ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ, ὅτι γεωργὸς ἦν.

26:11 Fuit autem exercitus bellatorum ejus, qui procedebant ad praelia sub manu Jehiel scribae, Maasiaeque doctoris, et sub manu Hananiae, qui erat de ducibus regis.
*H And the army of his fighting men, that went out to war, was under the hand of Jehiel the scribe, and Maasias the doctor, and under the hand of Henanias, who was one of the king's captains.
Ver. 11. Doctor. Heb. shoter. Sept. "judge." Prot. "ruler." H. — The term is commonly understood of one who executes the sentence of the judge. But this employment does not suit a general, (C.) though such a one might well command. It many denote any "officer." H.
Καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ Ὀζίᾳ δύναμις ποιοῦσα πόλεμον, καὶ ἐκπορευομένη εἰς παράταξιν εἰς πόλεμον καὶ εἱσπορευομένη εἰς παράταξιν εἰς ἀριθμόν· καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν διὰ χειρὸς Ἰεϊὴλ τοῦ γραμματέως, καὶ Μαασίου τοῦ κριτοῦ, διὰ χειρὸς Ἀνανίου τοῦ διαδόχου τοῦ βασιλέως.

26:12 Omnisque numerus principum per familias, virorum fortium duorum millium sexcentorum.
And the whole number of the chiefs by the families of valiant men were two thousand six hundred.

And the whole army under them three hundred and seven thousand five hundred: who were fit for war, and fought for the king against the enemy.
καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν δύναμις πολεμικὴ, τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακισχίλιοι καὶ πεντακόσιοι· οὗτοι οἱ ποιοῦντες πόλεμον ἐν δυνάμει ἰσχύος βοηθῆσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὑπεναντίους.

26:14 Praeparavit quoque eis Ozias, id est, cuncto exercitui, clypeos, et hastas, et galeas, et loricas, arcusque et fundas ad jaciendos lapides.
And Ozias prepared for them, that is, for the whole army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
Καὶ ἡτοίμασεν αὐτοῖς Ὀζίας πάσῃ τῇ δυναμει θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα καὶ περικεφαλαίας καὶ θώρακας καὶ τόξα καὶ εἰς λίθους σφενδόνας·

26:15 Et fecit in Jerusalem diversi generis machinas, quas in turribus collocavit et in angulis murorum, ut mitterent sagittas, et saxa grandia : egressumque est nomen ejus procul, eo quod auxiliaretur ei Dominus, et corroborasset illum.
*H And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him.
Ver. 15. Engines. They are here mentioned for the first time. C. — For the. Heb. "for he was wonderfully helped till he was established." H. — He invented many things for the defence of his kingdom. C.
Καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ μηχανὰς μεμηχανευμένας λογιστοῦ, τοῦ εἶναι ἐπὶ τῶν πύργων καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν γωνιῶν, βάλλειν βέλεσι καὶ λίθοις μεγάλοις· καὶ ἠκούσθη ἡ κατασκευὴ αὐτῶν ἕως πόῤῥω· ὅτι ἐθαυμαστώθη τοῦ βοηθῆναι ἕως οὗ κατίσχυσε.

26:16 Sed cum roboratus esset, elevatum est cor ejus in interitum suum, et neglexit Dominum Deum suum : ingressusque templum Domini, adolere voluit incensum super altare thymiamatis.
But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
Καὶ ὡς κατίσχυσεν, ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τοῦ καταφθεῖραι· καὶ ἠδίκησεν ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν ναὸν Κυρίου θυμιάσαι ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῶν θυμιαμάτων.

26:17 Statimque ingressus post eum Azarias sacerdos, et cum eo sacerdotes Domini octoginta, viri fortissimi,
*H And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men,
Ver. 17. Azarias. The prophet, who had hitherto kept the king (H.) within bounds, was now no more, v. 5. T.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ Ἀζαρίας ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἱερεῖς τοῦ Κυρίου ὀγδοήκοντα υἱοὶ δυνατοί.

26:18 restiterunt regi, atque dixerunt : Non est tui officii, Ozia, ut adoleas incensum Domino, sed sacerdotum, hoc est, filiorum Aaron, qui consecrati sunt ad hujuscemodi ministerium : egredere de sanctuario, ne contempseris : quia non reputabitur tibi in gloriam hoc a Domino Deo.

Exodus
30:7
And Aaron shall burn sweet smelling incense upon it in the morning. When he shall dress the lamps, he shall burn it:
*H Withstood the king and said: It doth not belong to thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but to the priests, that is, to the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated for this ministry: go out of the sanctuary, do not despise: for this thing shall not be accounted to thy glory by the Lord God.
Ver. 18. To thee. For usurping spiritual authority, the king was opposed by the high priest; and God confirmed the sentence of the latter, by striking Ozias with the leprosy; on which account, he was not only cast out of the temple, but also lost his kingdom, being obliged to live apart; (Lev. xiii. 46,) and after death, he could not be buried with his ancestors. W.
Καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ Ὀζίαν τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, οὐ σοὶ, Ὀζία, θυμιάσαι τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἀλλʼ ἢ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν υἱοῖς Ἀαρὼν τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις θῦσαι· ἔξελθε ἐκ τοῦ ἁγιάσματος, ὅτι ἀπέστης ἀπὸ Κυρίου· καὶ οὐκ ἔσται σοι τοῦτο εἰς δόξαν παρὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ.

26:19 Iratusque Ozias, tenens in manu thuribulum ut adoleret incensum, minabatur sacerdotibus. Statimque orta est lepra in fronte ejus coram sacerdotibus, in domo Domini super altare thymiamatis.
*H And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense.
Ver. 19. Forehead. So that it could not be concealed. According to the rigour of the law, such an offender was to be slain. Num. iii. 10. and xviii. 7. The leprosy was considered as equivalent, and is styled destruction, (v. 16,) and death. Isai. vi. 1. M. See 4 K. xv. 6.
Καὶ ἐθυμώθη Ὀζίας, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοὺ τὸ θυμιατήριον τοῦ θυμιάσαι ἐν τῷ ναῷ· καὶ ἐν τῷ θυμωθῆναι αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ ἡ λέπρα ἀνέτειλεν ἐν τῷ μετώπῳ αὐτοῦ ἐναντίον τῶν ἱερέων ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου ἐπάνω τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τῶν θυμιαμάτων.

26:20 Cumque respexisset eum Azarias pontifex, et omnes reliqui sacerdotes, viderunt lepram in fronte ejus, et festinato expulerunt eum. Sed et ipse perterritus, acceleravit egredi, eo quod sensisset illico plagam Domini.
And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord.
Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἀζαρίας ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ πρῶτος, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς λεπρὸς ἐν τῷ μετώπῳ, καὶ κατέσπευσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν, καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς ἔσπευσεν ἐξελθεῖν, ὅτι ἤλεγξεν αὐτὸν Κύριος.

26:21 Fuit igitur Ozias rex leprosus usque ad diem mortis suae, et habitavit in domo separata plenus lepra, ob quam ejectus fuerat de domo Domini. Porro Joatham filius ejus rexit domum regis, et judicabat populum terrae.

4_Kings
15:5
And the Lord struck the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a free house apart: but Joatham, the king's son, governed the palace, and judged the people of the land.
And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king's house, and judged the people of the land.
Καὶ Ὀζίας ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν λεπρὸς ἕως ἡμέρας τῆς τελευτῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν οἴκῳ ἀπφουσὼθ ἐκάθητο λεπρὸς, ὅτι ἀπεσχίσθη ἀπὸ οἴκου Κυρίου· καὶ Ἰωάθαν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ κρίνων τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς.

26:22 Reliqua autem sermonum Oziae priorum et novissimorum scripsit Isaias filius Amos propheta.
*H But the rest of the acts of Ozias first and last were written by Isaias the son of Amos, the prophet.
Ver. 22. Prophet. Yet we find little concerning him in the prophecy of Isaias; so that the work has been lost, except what Esdras hath preserved. C.
Καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Ὀζίου οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι, γεγραμμένοι ὑπὸ Ἰεσσίου τοῦ προφήτου.

26:23 Dormivitque Ozias cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in agro regalium sepulchrorum, eo quod esset leprosus : regnavitque Joatham filius ejus pro eo.
*H And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
Ver. 23. Leper. So much was the disease abhorred, (C.) as well as the king's late conduct. H.
Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ὀζίας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ τῆς ταφῆς τῶν βασιλέων, ὅτι εἶπαν ὅτι λεπρός ἐστι· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωάθαμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
