Context of Isaiah 6:1
In the year of the death of king Uzziah, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. 2Seraphim were standing above him: each had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he flew. 3And one called to the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1In the year - This naturally denotes a period after the death of Uzziah, though in the same year. The mention of the time was evidently made when the prophecy was composed, and it is to be presumed that the death of Uzziah had occurred at the time when the prophet saw this vision. If so, it is clear that this was not the first of his prophecies, for he saw his visions in the days of Uzziah;‘ Isaiah 1:1. The Chaldee, however, reads this: in the year when…Read the comment
