the rest of the acts of Azariah The record of these is said by the Chronicler (2 Chronicles 26:22) to have been written, first and last, by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. We know from Isaiah 6:1 that the great vision of the Lord in His glory was seen by Isaiah in the year of Azariah's death, so that the prophet was living at the time when the history of the reign was completed, and we can see from other notices that the prophets not unfrequently became the historians of the period in which they lived. Cf. 1 Chronicles 29:29; 2 Chronicles 9:29; 2Ch 12:15; 2 Chronicles 13:22; 2 Chronicles 20:34; 2 Chronicles 26:22.
