# It was Azariah who rebuilt Elath

Azariah did not do this alone. Alternate translation: "It was Azariah who ordered Elath to be rebuilt" or "It was Azariah who supervised the rebuilding of Elath" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])

# Elath

a city in Judah (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])

# restored it to Judah

"returned it to Judah"

# lay down with his ancestors

This is a poetic way to say he died. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-euphemism]])
