People & Groups • Both
Ozias is a Greek form of Uzziah and is also used for several other persons named in the Apocrypha and related genealogies. In Matthew it refers to Uzziah, king of Judah.
Biblical Usage
In Matthew’s genealogy, Ozias is the Greek form of Uzziah and is identified as a king of Judah. Other occurrences identify persons connected with Bethulia, Ezra’s ancestry, and the returning temple servants. The name therefore does not refer to one person in every passage.
