2 Tawarikh 26:11
Konteks26:11 Uzziah had an army of skilled warriors trained for battle. They were organized by divisions according to the muster rolls made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer under the authority of Hananiah, a royal official.
2 Tawarikh 26:19
Konteks26:19 Uzziah, who had an incense censer in his hand, became angry. While he was ranting and raving 1 at the priests, a skin disease 2 appeared on his forehead right there in front of the priests in the Lord’s temple near the incense altar.
2 Tawarikh 26:21
Konteks26:21 King Uzziah suffered from a skin disease until the day he died. He lived in separate quarters, 3 afflicted by a skin disease and banned from the Lord’s temple. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace and ruled over the people of the land.
[26:19] 2 tn Traditionally “leprosy,” but this was probably a skin disorder of some type, not leprosy (technically known today as Hansen’s disease). See 2 Kgs 5:1.
[26:21] 3 tn The precise meaning of בֵּית הַחָפְשִׁית (bet hakhafshiyt, “house of [?]”) is uncertain. NASB, NIV, NRSV all have “in a separate house”; NEB has “in his own house…relieved of all duties.” For a discussion of various proposals, see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 166-67.
