Azariah: Dr. Kennicott complains loudly here of "the corruption in the name of this king of Judah, who is expressed by four different names in this chapter: Ozriah, Oziah, Ozrihu, and Ozihu. Our oldest Hebrew manuscript relieves us here, by reading truly, in 2 Kings 15:1, 2 Kings 15:6-7, Uzziah, where the printed text is differently corrupted. This reading is called true:

1. Because it is supported by the Syriac and Arabic versions in these three verses.

2. Because the printed text itself has it so in 2 Kings 15:32 and 2 Kings 15:34 of this very chapter.

3. Because it is so expressed in the parallel place in Chronicles.

4. Because it is not Αζαριας:, Azarias, but Οζιας:, Ozias (Uzziah) in St. Matthew's genealogy.

they not written: 2 Kings 14:18; 2 Chronicles 26:5-15
