2. 他建造以祿——或作「建造以祿的就是他」。關於烏西雅收復並歸還猶大國的這座紅海港口的設防
（2Ch 33:13）， 被置於年代記述之前
（2Ch 26:3）， 或因攻取以祿一事備受重視，或因史家欲介紹烏西雅為人熟知的以祿征服者。此外，這也顯示此次征服發生於他在位初期，以祿作為港口十分重要，且希伯來商人維持著它與東方諸國之間的舊有貿易〔BERTHEAU〕。
英語原文
2. He built Eloth--or, "He it was who built Eloth." The account of the fortifications of this port on the Red Sea, which Uzziah restored to the kingdom of Judah
(2Ch 33:13),
is placed before the chronological notices
(2Ch 26:3),
either on account of the importance attached to the conquest of Eloth, or from the desire of the historian to introduce Uzziah as the king, who was known as the conqueror of Eloth. Besides, it indicates that the conquest occurred in the early part of his reign, that it was important as a port, and that Hebrew merchants maintained the old trade between it and the countries of the East [BERTHEAU].

他的建築。
9. 烏西雅在耶路撒冷建立城樓等語——可從其中抵禦攻擊或向圍城者投擲器物。主要城樓的位置如下：角門
（2Ch 25:23）， 在城的西北角；谷門在西面，即今日雅法門所在；「轉角」——錫安東側城牆的一處弧形彎曲處。城鎮在此點控制著保衛錫安與聖殿山東南面的馬門〔BERTHEAU〕。
英語原文
2Ch 26:9, 10.
HIS BUILDINGS.
9. Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, &c.--whence resistance could be made, or missiles discharged against assailants. The sites of the principal of these towers were: at the corner gate
(2Ch 25:23),
the northwest corner of the city; at the valley gate on the west, where the Joppa gate now is; at the "turning"--a curve in the city wall on the eastern side of Zion. The town, at this point, commanded the horse gate which defended Zion and the temple hill on the southeast [BERTHEAU].

10. 他又在曠野建造望樓——有防禦、瞭望與庇護牲畜三重目的。他又挖了許多井，因他喜愛並鼓勵各樣農業。其中一些「在曠野」，即耶路撒冷東南、死海以西的地區——介於猶大山與地中海之間的廣大牧區「低原」；「在平原」，即約旦河東、屬流便領土之內
（De 4:43； Jos 20:8）。
在加密——這座山在以色列境內，不屬烏西雅；此處既與葡萄山並列，大概不是專有名詞，而是按其字義作「肥田」解（旁註）。
英語原文
10. Also he built towers in the desert--for the threefold purpose of defense, of observation, and of shelter to his cattle. He dug also a great many wells, for he loved and encouraged all branches of agriculture. Some of these "were in the desert," that is, in the district to the southeast of Jerusalem, on the west of the Dead Sea, an extensive grazing district "in the low country" lying between the mountains of Judah and the Mediterranean; "and in the plains," east of the Jordan, within the territory of Reuben
(De 4:43; Jos 20:8).
in Carmel--This mountain, being within the boundary of Israel, did not belong to Uzziah; and as it is here placed in opposition to the vine-bearing mountains, it is probably used, not as a proper name, but to signify, as the word denotes, "fruitful fields" (Margin).

他的軍隊與戰具。
11-15. 一支能出去打仗的軍隊，按班次出戰——他招募了一支強大的民兵，分為大小一致的連或團，輪值服役。編造名冊由兩位精通軍事花名冊編製的官員執行，在朝中高官哈拿尼雅的監督之下。軍隊共有精兵三十萬零七千五百人，由二千名英勇的軍長——即各父家的首領——統領，因此每個父家組成一個獨立的分隊。他們配備齊全，從銅盔、鎮子甲（即鎖子甲），到拋石機弦，應有盡有。
英語原文
2Ch 26:11-15.
HIS HOST, AND ENGINES OF WAR.
11-15. an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands--He raised a strong body of militia, divided into companies or regiments of uniform size, which served in rotation. The enumeration was performed by two functionaries expert in the drawing up of military muster-rolls, under the superintendence of Hananiah, one of the high officers of the crown. The army consisted of 307,500 picked men, under the command of two thousand gallant officers, chiefs or heads of fathers' houses, so that each father's house formed a distinct band. They were fully equipped with every kind of military accoutrements, from brazen helmets, a habergeon or coat of mail, to a sling for stones.

15. 他造了……巧匠所發明的器械……射箭和石頭——這是歷史上首次提到使用拋射機械。這發明顯然歸於烏西雅在位之時，而老普林尼（PLINY）明言它們起源於敘利亞。
他得了奇妙的幫助，直到他強盛——他行事合乎神聖之王的代理者身分，凡事亨通。
英語原文
15. he made . . . engines, invented by cunning men . . . to shoot arrows and great stones--This is the first notice that occurs in history of the use of machines for throwing projectiles. The invention is apparently ascribed to the reign of Uzziah, and PLINY expressly says they originated in Syria.
he was marvellously helped till he was strong--He conducted himself as became the viceroy of the Divine King, and prospered.

他瀆祭司之職，受大痲瘋之災。
16-21. 他干犯耶和華等語——（參
2Ki 15:5）。 這膽大妄為的惡行，在兩處記錄中都被歸因於驕傲與虛榮的迷醉。但此處補述了其他情節：他的進入遭到反對，並受到強烈的勸阻
（1Ch 6:10）—— 勸阻他的是大祭司，隨行的有八十名次級祭司。他所回報的只是忿怒與威嚇，但上帝親自維護了祭司職分的神聖。正當王舉起香爐的那一刻，上帝擊打他使他長了大痲瘋。所提的地震
（Am 1:1） 據說就在那一刻被人感受到〔JOSEPHUS〕。

2Ch 26:16-21.
HE INVADES THE PRIEST'S OFFICE, AND IS SMITTEN WITH LEPROSY.
16-21. he transgressed against the Lord, &c.--(See on
2Ki 15:5).
This daring and wicked act is in both records traced to the intoxicating influence of overweening pride and vanity. But here the additional circumstances are stated, that his entrance was opposed, and strong remonstrances made
(1Ch 6:10)
by the high priest, who was accompanied by eighty inferior priests. Rage and threats were the only answers he deigned to return, but God took care to vindicate the sacredness of the priestly office. At the moment the king lifted the censer, He struck him with leprosy. The earthquake mentioned
(Am 1:1)
is said to have been felt at the moment [JOSEPHUS].
