(8) The Ammonites.--Old enemies of Judab (2Chronicles 20:1).

Gave gifts.--Paid tribute. Literally, gave a present, or offering (minch?h).

His name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt.--See margin. His name and influence, like Solomon's, extended to the Egyptian border.

He strengthened himself exceedingly.--He showed strength, prevailed, made head (Daniel 11:7; Daniel 11:32).

Exceedingly.--See the Notes on 1Chronicles 14:2; 1Chronicles 29:25. Syriac, "because he made much war." . . .

Verse 8. - The Ammonites. This nation lay east of Jordan, north-east of Moab. Note the interesting references, Numbers 21:24; Deuteronomy 2:37. Gave gifts. This expression was found in our 2 Chronicles 17:11; 1 Kings 4:21; 1 Kings 10:25. The reference to tribute-payment is evident. The entering in of Egypt. This, of course, marks the breadth of the land, and describes the breadth of Uzziah's sway or influence.
