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.
