Several others: &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:36 = Ezra, &nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:11; &nbsp;Nehemiah 3:23-24; &nbsp;Nehemiah 8:7; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 29:12; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 28:12; compare &nbsp;Jeremiah 43:2; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:32-33; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:38-39; Azariah whose name proves that the genealogy in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:36-41 was made in Hezekiah's reign, for Azariah (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:38) appears from &nbsp;2 Chronicles 23:1; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 24:1, to have been captain when [[Joash]] was seven years old, i.e. about one generation elder than Joash. After Azariah in that genealogy are six generations, ending with Elishama; and from Joash to Hezekiah also six; therefore [[Elishama]] was contemporary with Hezekiah.

This name was very common among the Jews, and was borne by many briefly referred to in Scripture. </p>

<p> (Hebrews Azaryah'. '''''עֲזִרְיָה''''' '', Helped By Jehovah,'' answering to the German name ''Gottheef;'' also in the prolonged form ''Azarya'Hu, '''''עֲזרְיָהוּ''''' .'' &nbsp;1 Kings 4:2; &nbsp;1 Kings 4:5; &nbsp;2 Kings 15:6; &nbsp;2 Kings 15:8; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 15:1; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 21:2; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 22:6; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 23:1; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 26:17; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 26:20; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 28:12; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 29:12; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 31:10; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 31:13; Sept. '''''Ἀζαρίας''''' and '''''Ἀζαρία''''' ''),'' a very common name among the Hebrews, and hence borne by a considerable number of persons mentioned in Scripture, especially in the families of the priests of the line of ''Eleazar,'' whose name has precisely the same meaning as Azariah. It is nearly identical and is often confounded with Ezra, as well as with Zerahiah and Seraiah. (See Azarias). </p> <p> '''1.''' Apparently the only son of Ethan, the grandson of Judah (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:8). B.C. 1856. </p> <p> '''2.''' A son of Jehu and father of Helez, of the tribe of Judah (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:38-39). B.C. post 1046. </p> <p> '''3.''' A person named as son of the high-priest Zadok, and an officer in the cabinet of Solomon (&nbsp;1 Kings 4:2). B.C. cir. 1000. He is perhaps the same, however, with No. 6 below. </p> <p> '''4.''' A son of [[Nathan]] and captain of King Solomon's guards (&nbsp;1 Kings 4:5). B.C. cir. 1000. </p> <p> '''5.''' A prophet who met King Asa on his return from a great victory over the [[Cushite]] king [[Zerah]] (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 15:1, where he is called the son of Oded, but Oded simply in &nbsp;2 Chronicles 15:8). See AsA. B.C. 939. He powerfully stirred up the spirit of Asa, and of the people of Judah and Benjamin, in a brief but pithy prophecy, which has been preserved, to put away all idolatrous worship, and to restore the altar of the one true God before the porch of the Temple. Great numbers of [[Israelites]] from Ephraim, and Manasseh, and Simeon, and all Israel, joined in the national reformation, to the great strengthening of the kingdom; and a season of rest and great prosperity ensued. </p> <p> '''6.''' A high-priest, son of Ahimaaz and father (grandfather) of Johanan (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:9), perhaps the father of Amariah, who lived under Jehoshaphat, king of Judah (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 19:11). B.C. ante 912. (See [[High-Priest]]). </p> <p> '''7.''' One of the sons of king Jehoshaphat (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 21:2, where the name is repeated, as if he had two sons of this name). B.C. post 912. </p> <p> '''8.''' [[Otherwise]] called AHAZIAH (See [[Ahaziah]]) (q.v.), king of Judah (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 22:6). </p> <p> '''9.''' A son of Jeroham, who joined Jehoiada in his pious efforts to restore the worship of the Temple, and put down the usurpation of Athaliah (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 23:1). B.C.877. </p> <p> '''10.''' A son of Obed, another "captain of a hundred," who joined Jehoiada in the same enterprise (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 23:1). B.C. 877. </p> <p> '''11.''' A person named as son of Johanan and father of another Amariah, a high-priest (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:10-11), whom some suppose the same as ZECHARIAH, son of Jehoiada, who was killed in the reign of Joash of Judah (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 24:20-22). In &nbsp;Ezra 7:3, either his or a former person's father is called Mesaroth. [[B C]]  cir. 809. (See High-Priest). From the date he appears to be the same with the high-priest who opposed King Uzziah (q.v.) in offering incense to Jehovah (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 26:17; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 26:20). B.C. 781. '''12.''' Otherwise called UZZIAH (See Uzziah) (q.v.), king of Judah, (&nbsp;2 Kings 14:21; &nbsp;2 Kings 15:1; &nbsp;2 Kings 15:6-8; &nbsp;2 Kings 15:17; &nbsp;2 Kings 15:23; &nbsp;2 Kings 15:27; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:12, etc.). </p> <p> '''13.'''

B.C. 739. </p> <p> '''14.''' A Levite, son of Zephaniah and father of Joel (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:36). In &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:24 he is called UZZIAH, the son of [[Uriel]] and father of Shaul. It appears from &nbsp;2 Chronicles 29:12, that his son Joel lived under Hezekiah. B.C. ante 726. </p> <p> '''15.''' A high-priest in the time of Hezekiah (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 31:10; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 31:13). B.C. 726. He seems to be the same incorrectly called [[Ahitub]] in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:11-12. He appears to have co-operated zealously with the king in that throrough purification of the Temple and restoration of the Temple services which was so conspicuous an event in Hezekiah's reign. He especially interested himself in providing chambers in the house of the Lord in which to stow the tithes, and offerings, and consecrated things for the use of the priests and Levites, and in appointing overseers to have the charge of them. As the attendance of priests and Levites and the maintenance of the Temple services depended entirely upon the supply of such offerings, whenever the people neglected them the priests and Levites were forced to disperse themselves to their villages, and so the house of God was deserted (comp. &nbsp;Nehemiah 10:35-39; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:27-30; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:44-47). </p> <p> '''16.''' The son of Hilkiah and father of Seraiah, which latter was the last high- priest before the captivity (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:13-14; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:11; &nbsp;Ezra 7:1; &nbsp;Ezra 7:3). B.C. cir. 600. </p> <p> '''17.''' One of the " '''''‘''''' proud men" who rebuked Jeremiah for advising the people that remained in [[Palestine]] after the expatriation to Babylon not to retire into Egypt, and who took the prophet himself and [[Baruch]] along with them to that country (&nbsp;Jeremiah 43:2-7). B.C. 587. </p> <p> '''18.''' The Hebrew name of ABEDNEGO (See Abednego) (q.v.), one of Daniel's three friends who were cast into the fiery furnace (&nbsp;Daniel 1:7; &nbsp;Daniel 3:9). He appears to have been of the royal lineage of Judah, and for this reason selected, with Daniel and his two other companions, for Nebuchadnezzar's especial service. The three children, as they were called, were remarkable for their beauty, and wisdom, and knowledge, and intelligence. They were no less remarkable for their piety, their strict adherence to the law of Moses, and the steadfast ness of their faith, even in the face of death, and their wonderful deliverance. B.C. 603. (See [[Daniel]]). </p> <p> 19 One of the nobles who returned from Babylon (&nbsp;Nehemiah 7:7; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:33), and joined in the oath of fidelity to the law (&nbsp;Nehemiah 10:2), and assisted in interpreting it to the people (&nbsp;Nehemiah 8:7). His father's name was Maaseiah, and he repaired that part of the wall of Jerusalem opposite his house (&nbsp;Nehemiah 3:23-24). In &nbsp;Ezra 2:2, he is called [[Seraiah. BC]]  446-410. </p>
