STRONGS NT 3604: Ὀζίας

Ὀζίας (L T Tr WH Ὀζείας (cf. Tdf. Proleg., p. 84; WHs Appendix, p. 155, and see εἰ, ἰ)), Οζιου (but cf. Buttmann, 18 (16)), ὁ, (עֻזִּיָה and עֻזִּיָהוּ, strength of Jehovah, or my strength is Jehovah), Ozias or Uzziah, son of Amaziah, king of Judah (circa) (2 Kings 15:30ff): Matthew 1:8f, where the Evangelist ought to have preserved this order: Ιωραμ, Οχοζιας, Ιωας, Ἀμαζιας, Ὀζίας. He seems therefore to have confounded Οχοζιας and Ὀζίας; see another example of (apparent) confusion under Ιεχονιας. (But Matthew has simply omitted three links; such omissions were not uncommon, cf. e. g. 1 Chronicles 6:3ff and Ezra 7:1ff See the commentators.)

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name עֻזִּיָּהוּ (Uzziah), meaning "Yahweh is my strength."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H5818 עֻזִּיָּהוּ (Uzziah): The Hebrew origin of the name Ozias, meaning "Yahweh is my strength." This entry corresponds to the same historical figure, King Uzziah of Judah, as mentioned in the Old Testament.

Usage: The name Ozias appears in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. It is used to refer to King Uzziah of Judah, who reigned during the 8th century BC.

Context: • Historical Context: Ozias, known in Hebrew as Uzziah, was a king of Judah who reigned for 52 years. His reign is noted for its prosperity and military success, as well as for his efforts in fortifying Jerusalem and expanding Judah's influence. Uzziah's reign is documented in 2 Kings 15:1-7 and 2 Chronicles 26.
• Biblical Significance: Uzziah is remembered for his initial faithfulness to God, which brought prosperity to Judah. However, his pride led to his downfall when he unlawfully entered the temple to burn incense, a duty reserved for priests. As a result, God struck him with leprosy, and he lived in isolation until his death.
• Genealogical Reference: In the New Testament, Ozias is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in Matthew 1:8-9 (BSB): "Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Uzziah, Uzziah the father of Jotham." This inclusion highlights the Davidic lineage of Jesus, affirming His rightful place as the Messiah.
• Theological Implications: The story of Uzziah serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of pride and the importance of obedience to God's commandments. His life illustrates the blessings of faithfulness and the consequences of overstepping divine boundaries.
