英文原文
2Ch 26:1-8.
UZZIAH SUCCEEDS AMAZIAH AND REIGNS WELL IN THE DAYS OF ZECHARIAH.
1. Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah--(See on
2Ki 14:21;
2Ki 15:1).

2. 他建造以禄——或作「建造以禄的就是他。」关于乌西雅重新收回归犹大国
(2Ch 33:13)
的这一红海港口的修筑工事，被置于年代记载
(2Ch 26:3)
之前，或是因为以禄之征服被视为重要之事，或是因为史家想要介绍乌西雅乃以禄征服者而为人所知的王。此外，这也表明这次征服发生在他作王的初期，以禄作为港口的重要性，以及希伯来商人维持着此地与东方诸国之间的古老贸易 [贝特奥（BERTHEAU）]。
英文原文
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].

他的建筑工程
9. 乌西雅在耶路撒冷建造楼等——可从其上抵御，或向攻城者发射兵器。这些主要楼的位置为：在角门
(2Ch 25:23)，
即城的西北角；在西面的谷门，即今日雅法门所在之处；在「转弯」之处——锡山东侧城墙的一处弯曲处。城在这一处可俯瞰保护锡安和圣殿山东南方的马门 [贝特奥（BERTHEAU）]。
英文原文
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. 他又在旷野建造楼——有三重目的：防御、瞭望，以及为牲畜提供庇护。他又挖了许多井，因他喜爱并鼓励农业的各分支。这些楼有的「在旷野」，即在耶路撒冷东南、死海以西的地区；那是犹大山地与地中海之间「低地」一片广大的牧场；「在平原」，即约旦河东、流便境内
(De 4:43； Jos 20:8)。
在迦密——这座山既在以色列境内，并不属乌西雅；此处它既与产葡萄的山相对，大概不是作为专有名词使用，而是取其字义，指「肥美的田地」（边注）。
英文原文
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).

2Ch 26:11-15.
他的军队和战争器械
11-15. 能上阵打仗的军兵，按着班次出战的——他招募了一支强大的民兵，分为大小一致的各连或各团，轮流服役。这次编点由两名精于编造军中名册的官员执行，在王室高官之一哈拿尼雅的监督之下。军队共有 307,500 名精兵，由两千名英勇的军官——即各族各族长——统率，因此每一个父家自成一班。他们装备齐全，从铜盔、锁子甲或铠甲，直到甩石机弦，应有尽有。
英文原文
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……巧匠所发明的射箭和掷大石头的机器——这是历史上首次提到使用投射兵器的机器。这发明显然归功于乌西雅在位之时，老普林尼（PLINY）明说它们起源于叙利亚。
他得了非常的帮助，直到他强盛——他行事合乎那位神君王之代理人的身分，凡事亨通。
英文原文
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.

2Ch 26:16-21.
他僭越祭司之职，染上大麻风
16-21. 他干犯耶和华等——（参看
2Ki 15:5
的注释）。
这一胆大妄为的恶行，在两处记载中都被归因于骄傲虚荣的迷醉影响。但此处补充说明了一些情况：他的进入受到阻挡，大祭司（有八十位次一级的祭司陪同）提出了强烈的谏诤
(1Ch 6:10)。
他所回报的只是怒气和威吓，但神却亲自维护了祭司职任的神圣。正当王举起香炉之时，神便以大麻风击打他。所提的地震
(Am 1:1)
据说就在那一刻被人感受到 [约瑟夫（JOSEPHUS）]。
英文原文
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].
