Azariah

Meaning: he that hears the Lord · Male · 3 cross references

This Azariah entry refers to the priestly ancestor in the later high-priestly line, father of Amariah, not Azariah/Abed-nego or other figures of the same name. He belongs to the preserved continuity of temple leadership. First appears in 1 Chr 6:10.1

AI summary: This Azariah matters because the cross references present another link in the priestly succession that undergirds later temple authority. Though he is not a narrative actor, his remembered place in the genealogy helps secure continuity for the sacred office carried forward in Chronicles and Ezra. Taken together, the material presents this Azariah as a priestly ancestor whose line supports the continuity of temple leadership.1
