Malbim: It was a proper time to seek Elokim due to the Nevi'im at the time, e.g. Zecharyahu.

'Rashi': It is Uziyah. He was called also Azaryah; he had three names. He understood that fear of Hashem is good, so he feared Hashem.

Radak: He was a Navi ¹ . Malbim ? Nevi'im and people with Ru'ach ha'Kodesh saw Divine visions, like Yechezkel, who saw the Merkavah. Not all fully understood the awesome matters that they saw, just like of the four Tana'im who entered the Pardes, only R. Akiva left b'Shalom. Zecharyah understood all that he saw.
