‏ 2 Kings 15:6

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 2Kgs 15:1, 2Kgs 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 2Kgs 15:32 and 2Kgs 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 2Kgs 14:18; 2Chr 26:5-15
