Uzziah (/əˈzaɪə/; Hebrew: עֻזִּיָּהוּ‘Uzzīyyāhū, meaning "my strength is Yah";[1] Greek: Ὀζίας; Latin: Ozias), also known as Azariah (/ˈæzəˈraɪə/; Hebrew: עֲזַרְיָה‘Azaryā; Greek: Αζαρίας; Latin: Azarias), was the tenth king of the ancient Kingdom of Judah, and one of Amaziah's sons. (2 Chronicles 26:1) Uzziah was 16 when he became king of Judah and reigned for 52 years. The first 24 years of his reign were as a co-regent with his father, Amaziah.
William F. Albright dates Uzziah's reign to 783–742 BC.[2] Edwin R. Thiele's chronology has Uzziah becoming coregent with his father Amaziah in 792/791 BCE[3] and sole ruler of Judah after his father's death in 768/767 BCE. Uzziah was struck with tzaraath for disobeying God (2 Kings 15:5, 2 Chronicles 26:19–21). Thiele dates Uzziah's being struck with tzaraath to 751/750 BCE, at which time his son Jotham took over the government, with Uzziah living on until 740/739 BCE.[3] Pekah became king of Israel in the last year of Uzziah's reign.
The Gospel of Matthew lists Uzziah in the genealogy of Jesus.
