In 2 Chronicles 26:1 the proper noun identifies the man made king in place of his father, and 2 Chronicles 26:18 addresses him as the king who is told not to burn incense. The same proper-name use marks regnal and family references in 2 Kings 15:32, while 1 Chronicles 27:25 and Ezra 10:21 place bearers of the name in a family relationship and a list of persons.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the name as “Uzziah,” including royal references such as 2 Chronicles 26:1 and Isaiah 6:1. Its omission of a corresponding name in some list or genealogical wording does not by itself identify the term's precise English rendering.
