Azariah

Meaning: he that hears the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Azariah entry refers to another son of Jehoshaphat in the sibling list of 2 Chronicles 21, distinct within the same royal household from the similarly named brother recorded there. He belongs to the wider royal family endangered by Jehoram's rise. First appears in 2 Chr 21:2.1

AI summary: This Azariah matters because his single cross reference contributes to the unusually repeated naming within Jehoshaphat's house, reinforcing how large and significant that royal family was before Jehoram's purge. The notice helps the reader feel the scale of the loss when dynastic violence follows. Taken together, the material presents this Azariah as part of the threatened royal household in Judah.1
