•A priest, chief of the father’s house of Jedaiah, in the time of Joiakim the high priest. (Nehemiah
12:19) (B.C. about 500.)
•One of the priests who assisted Ezra in the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem. (Nehemiah 12:42)
Perhaps the same as the preceding. (B.C. 446.)
Uzzia
(strength of Jehovah), one of David’s guard, and apparently a native of Ashtaroth beyond Jordan.
(1 Chronicles 11:44) (B.C. 1053.)
Uzziah
(strength of Jehovah).
•King of Judah B.C. 809-8 to 757-6. In some passages his name appears in the lengthened form
Azariah: After the murder of Amaziah, his son Uzziah was chosen by the people, at the age of
sixteen, to occupy the vacant throne; and for the greater part of his long reign of fifty-two years
he lived in the fear of God, and showed himself a wise, active and pious ruler. He never deserted
the worship of the true God, and was much influenced by Zechariah, a prophet who is mentioned
only in connection with him. (2 Chronicles 26:5) So the southern kingdom was raised to a condition
of prosperity which it had not known since the death of Solomon. The end of Uzziah was less
prosperous than his beginning. Elated with his splendid career, he determined to burn incense on
the altar of God, but was opposed by the high priest Azariah and eighty others. See (Exodus 30:7,8;
Numbers 16:40; 18:7) The king was enraged at their resistance, and, as he pressed forward with
his censer was suddenly smitten with leprosy. This lawless attempt to burn incense was the only
exception to the excellence of his administration. (2 Chronicles 27:2) Uzziah was buried “with
his fathers,” yet apparently not actually in the royal sepulchres. (2 Chronicles 26:23) During his
reign a great earthquake occurred. (Amos 1:1; Zechariah 14:5)
•A Kohathite Levite, and ancestor of Samuel. (1 Chronicles 6:24) (9).
•A priest of the sons of Harim, who had taken a foreign wife in the days of Ezra. (Ezra 10:21) (B.C.
458.)
•Father of Athaiah or Uthai. (Nehemiah 11:4)
•Father of Jehonathan, one of David’s overseers. (1 Chronicles 27:25) (B.C. about 1053.)
Uzziel
(my strength is God).
•Fourth son of Kohath, father of Mishael, Eizaphan or Elizaphan and Zithri, and uncle to Aaron.
(Exodus 6:18,22; Leviticus 10:4) (B.C. before 1491.)
•A Simeonite captain, son of Ishi, in the days of Hezekiah. (1 Chronicles 4:42)
•Head of a Benjamite house, of the sons of Bela. (1 Chronicles 7:7) (B.C. 1706.)
•A musician, of the sons of Heman in David’s reign. (1 Chronicles 25:4)
•A Levite, of the sons of Jeduthun, in the days of Hezekiah. (2 Chronicles 29:14,18) (B.C. 726.)
•Son of Harhaiah, probably a priest in the days of Nehemiah, who took part in repairing the wall.
(Nehemiah 3:8) (B.C. 446.) He is described as “of the goldsmiths,” i.e. of those priests whose
hereditary office it was to repair or make the sacred vessels.
Uzzielites, The
the descendants of Uzziel, and one of the four great families of the Kohathites. (Numbers 3:27;
1 Chronicles 26:23)
