SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:5
Y persistió en buscar a Dios en los días de Zacarías, entendido en visiones de Dios; y en estos días que él buscó al SEÑOR, Dios le prosperó.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 26:5
Verse 5. In the days of Zechariah] Who this was we know not, but by the character that is given of him here. He was wise in the visions of God-in giving the true interpretation of Divine prophecies. He was probably the tutor of Uzziah.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. And he sought God in the days of Zechariah , etc.] Not that Zechariah, the last of the prophets save one, he lived three hundred years after this; nor he that Joash slew; but, as it may seem, a son of his, perhaps the same with him in ( Isaiah 8:2), who had understanding in the visions of God : who either had prophetic visions granted to him, or had divine wisdom to interpret such that others had; or, as others think, had a gift of interpreting the prophecies of others, the writings of Moses and David, etc. to which the Targum seems to agree; which paraphrases it, “who taught in the fear of the Lord;” with which agree the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions; some copies read “in the fear of God”; as an ancient manuscript mentioned by Junius, and so the Talmud f97 : and, as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper ; in his kingdom, and against his enemies; even so long as he abode by the word, worship, and ordinances of God, of which instances are given, as follow.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-15 - As long as Uzziah sought the Lord, and minded religion, God made him to prosper. Those only prosper whom God makes to prosper; for prosperit is his gift. Many have owned, that as long as they sought the Lord, an kept close to their duty, they prospered; but when they forsook God every thing went cross. God never continues either to bless the indolent or to withhold his blessing from the diligent. He will neve suffer any to seek his face in vain. Uzziah's name was famed throughou all the neighbouring countries. A name with God and good people make truly honourable. He did not delight in war, nor addict himself to sports, but delighted in husbandry.
