Bible Person

Azariah

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

This Azariah entry refers to a Kohathite Levite involved in Hezekiah's temple cleansing, not to the Merarite figure or the many royal and prophetic men of the same name. He belongs to the renewal of worship in Judah. First appears in 2 Chr 29:12.1

AI summary: This Azariah matters because his single cross reference places him among the Levites who respond when Hezekiah restores the temple to proper use. The entry helps show that reform was carried out through identifiable families and willing servants. Taken together, the material presents this Azariah as a Kohathite participant in Judah's liturgical renewal.1
