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 Kg2 15:1, Kg2 15:6, Kg2 15:7, 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 Kg2 15:32 and Kg2 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.

Pul: Prideaux supposes that this Pul was the father of the famous Sardanapalus, who was called Sardan with his father's name Pul annexed, as was frequent in those times, making Sardanpul: thus Merodach, king of Babylon, was Merodach-Baladan, because he was the son Baladan. This Pul began to reign according to Usher, am 3237, the fifth year of Menahem; and he is supposed to be the same that reigned in Nineveh, when Jonah preached in that city. Ch1 5:25, Ch1 5:26; Isa 9:1
Menahem: Kg2 12:18, Kg2 16:8, Kg2 17:3, Kg2 17:4, Kg2 18:16; Hos 5:13, Hos 8:9, Hos 8:10, Hos 10:6

the mighty: Rut 2:1; Sa2 19:32; Job 1:3
of each man: etc. Or, rather, as Bishop Patrick renders, "to give to the king of Assyria fifty shekels of silver for each man," i.e., in his army. It may be supposed, that Menahem compelled "the mighty men of wealth" to give much more a-piece than this sum (somewhat about 5. sterling each) and each of them in some proportion to his affluence.

Tiglathpileser: Some suppose Tiglath-pileser to be the son of Sardanapalus, but the learned Prideaux makes him the same as Arbaces the Mede, called by Alian, Thelgamus, and by Castor, Ninus Junior, who, with Belesis, headed the conspiracy against Sardanapalus, and fixed his royal seat at Nineveh, as Belesis, called in Scripture Baladan (Isa 39:1), did his at Babylon. He reigned nineteen years, from am 3257 to am 3276. Kg2 16:7; Ch1 5:6, Ch1 5:26; Ch2 28:20, Ch2 28:21, Tiglath-pilneser, Isa 9:1

In those days: "At the end of Jotham's reign." This Jotham died at forty-one. He was too great a blessing to be continued long to such an unworthy people. His death was a judgment, especially considering the character of Ahaz, his son and successor. for we read (Kg2 16:3) Ahaz made his son pass through the fire. This son may have been Hezekiah, who served the Lord, and whose prayer in sickness was most graciously herd and answered. Isa. 38:1-22
