Ὀζίας

Ὀζίας — Ozías

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) (2Ki 15:30 ff): Mat 1:8 f, 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. 1Ch 6:3 ff and Ezr 7:1 ff See the commentators.)
