(a)15:1
Azarias: Otherwise called Ozias.(Challoner)
(b)15:5
A leper: In punishment of his usurping the priestly function. 2 Par. 26.(Challoner)
(c)15:24 Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, was the leader after Solomon, when Israel became divided, who led ten of the 12 tribes of Israel, and who had them worship apart from Jerusalem. This is a figure for Protestantism, and for every type of heresy and schism.(Conte)
(d)15:30
In the twentieth year of Joatham: That is, in the twentieth year, from the beginning of Joatham’s reign. The sacred writer chooses rather to follow here this date than to speak of the years of Achaz, who had not yet been mentioned.(Challoner)
(e)15:35 The house of the Lord, with all its gates, was certainly completed long before his reign. So the meaning is not that he built the gate, but that he improved it, so that it became very sublime, that is, very magnificent.(Conte)
