Bible Person

Azariah

Meaning: he that hears the Lord · Male · 2 cross references

This Azariah entry refers to the chief priest in Hezekiah's day who answers the king about the temple provisions, not to the priest who confronted Uzziah. He belongs to the successful administrative side of Hezekiah's reform. First appears in 2 Chr 31:10.1

AI summary: This Azariah matters because the cross references place him in a scene where abundance in the temple is interpreted as evidence of God's blessing on renewed obedience. His role is less confrontational than other priestly figures, but it shows the positive institutional fruit of reform when worship is rightly ordered. Taken together, the material presents this Azariah as a chief priest whose testimony confirms the health of Hezekiah's restored religious life.1
