The verse states Uzziah "was marvellously helped, till he was strong." Commentators emphasize that Uzziah's fame, innovative technology, and military might were not his own achievements but direct gifts from God. This serves as a powerful reminder that all true and lasting success is a result of seeking and relying on the Lord's help.
