Uzziah
Uzziah, also known as Azariah, was a king of Judah who reigned for 52 years. His name means "Yahweh is my strength," reflecting a reliance on God. Uzziah's reign was marked by prosperity and military success, but his pride led to his downfall when he unlawfully entered the temple to burn incense, resulting in leprosy. This serves as a reminder of the importance of humility and obedience to God's commands.

was the father of
This phrase indicates the genealogical lineage, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant promises through generations. In Hebrew culture, genealogy was crucial for establishing identity, inheritance, and fulfilling prophecies. It underscores God's faithfulness in preserving the line of David, through which the Messiah would come.

Jotham
Jotham, meaning "Yahweh is perfect," was a king of Judah known for his righteous reign. He continued the reforms of his father, Uzziah, and maintained a strong relationship with God. Jotham's reign is a testament to the blessings that come from walking in obedience to God's laws and the impact of godly leadership on a nation.

Jotham the father of Ahaz
This phrase highlights the transition from a righteous king to one who did not follow in his father's footsteps. Ahaz's reign was marked by idolatry and alliances with foreign powers, leading to spiritual and political decline. This serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of turning away from God and the importance of maintaining faithfulness across generations.

Ahaz
Ahaz, whose name means "he has grasped," was a king of Judah known for his unfaithfulness to God. He introduced idol worship and even sacrificed his own son, reflecting the depths of his apostasy. Despite his failures, God's promise to David's line remained unbroken, illustrating God's grace and the hope of redemption even amidst human failure.

and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah
This phrase marks a significant turning point in the genealogy. Hezekiah, unlike his father, was a reformer who sought to restore true worship in Judah. His reign was characterized by a return to God, the destruction of idols, and a reliance on divine guidance. Hezekiah's account is one of repentance and renewal, demonstrating that it is never too late to return to God and seek His favor.

Hezekiah
Hezekiah, meaning "Yahweh strengthens," was a king of Judah renowned for his faithfulness and reforms. He trusted in God during times of crisis, such as the Assyrian invasion, and was rewarded with miraculous deliverance. Hezekiah's life exemplifies the power of prayer, the importance of seeking God's will, and the blessings that come from wholehearted devotion to the Lord. His inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus highlights the hope and redemption available through faith in God.

(9) Ozias.--Ozias is, of course, the Uzziah of the Old Testament. Three names are omitted between Joram and this king--viz., Ahaziah, Joash, Amaziah. Apparently the motive for the omission was simply the desire of bringing the names in each period into which the genealogy is divided to the arbitrary standard of fourteen. Possibly, however, as it was thus necessary to omit three names, the choice of these may have been determined by the fact that they belonged to the time of Athaliah's disastrous influence in the history of the monarchy of Judah. We learn from this fact that the words "A begat B" are not to be taken literally, but are simply an expression of the fact of succession with or without intermediate links.
