As I was reading Judges 16 (http://bible.logos.com/passage/KJV/1Samuel%2016) my attention went on the word Gaza. Looking into the meaning, fortified city, reminded me of the King Uzziah:

Look how close are the words Uzziah and Azariah:
עֻזִּיָה - עֲזַרְיָה
The difference is one letter missing. Uzziah means fortified by God, same as the meaning of Gaza while Azariah means God is my help
Azariah and Uzziah are the same king.
Azariah: 2Kings 15
Uzziah: 2Chronicles 26
