2 Chronicles 26
1. Uzziah succeeding, and reigning well in the days of Zechariah, prospers
16. Waxing proud, he invades the priest's office, and is smitten with leprosy
22. He dies, and Jotham succeeds him














(7) The Philistines, and . . . the Arabians.--They are named together in 2Chronicles 17:11 also. Their seat, Gur-Baal, only mentioned here, is unknown. The Targum makes it Gerar; the LXX. apparently Petra (in Edom). The reading Gedor-Baal has been proposed.

The Mehunims (Heb., Me'-nim) are the Maonites, or people of Maon (Ma'an), near Mount Seir. (See Note on 2Chronicles 20:1.)

(The Syriac and Arabic omit from "wall of Ashdod" 2Chronicles 26:6, to "gifts to Uzziah," 2Chronicles 26:8.)

Verse 7. - Gur-baal. Though nothing is known of this place (the meaning of which is "abode of Baal," perhaps from some temple of Baal), yet its companion Maon, the city of the Mehunim (2 Chronicles 22:1; Judges 10:12), shows whereabouts it was.
