He built Eloth--or, "He it was who built Eloth." The account of the fortifications of this port on the Red Sea, which Uzziah restored to the kingdom of Judah (Ch2 33:13), is placed before the chronological notices (Ch2 26:3), either on account of the importance attached to the conquest of Eloth, or from the desire of the historian to introduce Uzziah as the king, who was known as the conqueror of Eloth. Besides, it indicates that the conquest occurred in the early part of his reign, that it was important as a port, and that Hebrew merchants maintained the old trade between it and the countries of the East [BERTHEAU].

After that the king slept with his fathers — That is, after the king Amaziah, his father, slept with his fathers. These words indicate that Uzziah fortified Elath at the beginning of his reign, and soon after his father’s decease, and the work seems to have been a very notable act of his reign.

2. Eloth] So spelt in 2Ch_8:17 (= 1Ki_9:26), but “Elath” in Deu_2:8; 2Ki_14:22. In 2Ki_16:6 the two forms are found side by side in one verse. The word is probably of foreign origin, and such words are seldom of fixed form when adopted into common language; cp. the various forms of “Damascus” (1Ch_18:5, note).
after that the king, etc.] We conjecture that this phrase means that it was after king Amaziah slept with his fathers that Uzziah his son restored Elath to Judah. If this be right, we must suppose that Uzziah reigned in Jerusalem for some time, while his father was in refuge at Lachish. Some years of history may be crowded into 2Ch_25:27. The meaning of the present passage will be that Uzziah built Elath after he became sole and undisputed king.

Eloth; Hebrew, twOlyaeAta,; the parallel reads tlyae. This place was at the head of the Gulf Akaba (2Ch_8:17; 1Ki_9:26) Judah had lost hold of it at a past revolt of Edom, and Uzziah, after his father"s crippling of Edom, seizes the opportunity of making it Judah"s again and rebuilding it, thus finishing very probably a work that he knew had been in his father"s heart to do. This consideration may explain alike the following clause in our verse. and the placing of this here. Uzziah charged himself to do it the first thing.
