Tribute indicates a form of submission or acknowledgment of Uzziah's power. This act of bringing tribute suggests a period of peace or subjugation, reflecting Uzziah's strong military and political influence. Historically, tribute was a common practice in the ancient Near East, serving as a means to maintain alliances or avoid conflict. This tribute signifies Uzziah's dominance and the stability of his reign.<p><b>and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt</b><br>Uzziah's fame reaching the border of Egypt highlights the extent of his influence. Egypt, a significant power in the region, often served as a benchmark for the reach of a king's reputation. This phrase suggests that Uzziah's accomplishments, possibly including military victories, economic prosperity, and architectural achievements, were well-known beyond Israel. The mention of Egypt also connects to the broader biblical narrative, where Egypt frequently appears as a symbol of worldly power and influence.<p><b>for he had become exceedingly powerful</b><br>Uzziah's power is attributed to his military successes, economic advancements, and infrastructural developments, such as fortifying Jerusalem and expanding agricultural projects. His power is seen as a blessing from God, aligning with the Deuteronomic principle that obedience leads to prosperity. This phrase underscores the biblical theme of divine favor and the responsibilities that come with power. Uzziah's reign is a type of Christ in that it foreshadows the ultimate reign of Jesus, who will have dominion over all nations.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/u/uzziah.htm">Uzziah</a></b><br>Also known as Azariah, he was the king of Judah who reigned for 52 years.
