1. 1Ch_2:8.
2. Son of Ahimaaz (1Ch_6:9), succeeded Zadok his grandfather in the high priesthood in Solomon's reign, Ahimaaz having died before Zadok (1Ch_6:10, the "he" refers to the Azariah in 1Ch_6:9). He officiated at the consecration of Solomon's temple, and was the first high priest that ministered in it.
3. Isaiah's contemporary, who with fourscore priests withstood so faithfully king Uzziah when burning in. tense (2Ch_26:17-20).
4. Grandson of the Azariah 2, high priest under Abijah and Asa, as Amariah his son was in the days of Jehoshaphat son of Asa.
5. Azariah, son of Oded, also called simply Oded, a prophet along with Hanani; encouraged Asa in his religious reformation (2Ch_15:1-8).
6. Chief priest of the house of Zadok, in Hezekiah's reign, who appointed chambers in the house of the Lord for storing the tithes and offerings, on which were dependent the attendance of the priests at the temple services (Neh_10:35-39; Neh_12:27-80; Neh_12:44-47; 2Ch_31:10-13).
7. 1Ch_6:13; Ezr_7:1; 2Ki_25:18.
8. Hebrew name of (See ABEDNEGO (Dan_1:6-19; Dan_1:3); of the seed royal of Judah; fulfilling the prophecy to Hezekiah (Isa_39:5-7); famed for beauty, wisdom, above all faithfulness unto death, and for his miraculous deliverance from the furnace.
9. 2Ch_21:2.
10. Several others: 1Ch_6:36 = Ezra, 1Ch_9:11; Neh_3:23-24; Neh_8:7; 2Ch_29:12; 2Ch_28:12; compare Jer_43:2; Neh_12:32-33; 1Ch_2:38-39; Azariah whose name proves that the genealogy in 1Ch_2:36-41 was made in Hezekiah's reign, for Azariah (1Ch_2:38) appears from 2Ch_23:1; 2Ch_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.

Azari'ah. (whom the Lord helps). A common name in Hebrew, and especially in the families of the priests of the line of Eleazar, whose name has precisely the same meaning as Azariah.

9. Azariah; the son of Oded, 2Ch_15:1 called simply Oded in 2Cj_15:8, was a remarkable prophet in the days of King Asa, and a contemporary of Azariah the son of Johanan the high priest, and of Hanani the seer. (B.C. 939).
10. Son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. 2Ch_21:2. (B.C.910).

Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
or UZZIAH, king of Judah, son of Amaziah. He began to reign at the age of sixteen years, and reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; his mother's name being Jecholiah, 2 Kings 15. Azariah did that which was right in the sight of the Lord; nevertheless he did not destroy the high places; and, against the express prohibition of God, the people continued to sacrifice there. Having taken upon him to offer incense in the temple, which office belonged entirely to the priests, he was struck with a leprosy, and continued without the city, separated from other men until the day of his death, 2 Chronicles 26. Josephus says, that upon this occasion a great earthquake happened; and that the temple opening at the top, a ray of light darted upon the king's forehead, the very moment he took the censer into his hand, and he instantly became a leper; nay, that the earthquake was so very violent, that it tore in sunder a mountain west of Jerusalem, and rolled one half of it over and over to the distance of four furlongs, till at length it was stopped by another mountain which stood over against it; but choked up the highway, and covered the king's gardens with dust. This is what Josephus adds to the history related in the Chronicles; but the truth of it may be justly suspected. We know, indeed, that there was a very great earthquake in the reign of Uzziah; for Amo_1:1, and Zec_14:5, make mention of it: however, it is not certain that it happened at the very time that Uzziah took upon him to offer incense.
During the time that Uzziah was a leper, his son Jotham, as his father's viceroy, took the public administration upon himself, and succeeded him after his death, which happened in the fifty-second year of his reign. A.M. 3246. He was not buried in the royal sepulchre; but in the same field, at some distance, on account of his leprosy.
The first part of Uzziah's reign was very successful: he obtained great advantages over the Philistines, Ammonites, and Arabians. He made additions to the fortifications at Jerusalem, and always kept an army on foot of three hundred and seven thousand men, and upwards, 2 Chronicles 26; and he had great magazines, well stored with all sorts of arms, as well offensive as defensive; and he was a great lover of agriculture.

Azariah
(Hebrews Azaryah'. עֲזִרְיָה, helped by Jehovah, answering to the German name Gottheef; also in the prolonged form Azarya'hu, עֲזרְיָהוּ. 1Ki_4:2; 1Ki_4:5; 2Ki_15:6; 2Ki_15:8; 2Ch_15:1; 2Ch_21:2; 2Ch_22:6; 2Ch_23:1; 2Ch_26:17; 2Ch_26:20; 2Ch_28:12; 2Ch_29:12; 2Ch_31:10; 2Ch_31:13; Sept. Α᾿ζαρίας and Α᾿ζαρία), 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.

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.
6. A high-priest, son of Ahimaaz and father (grandfather) of Johanan (1Ch_6:9), perhaps the father of Amariah, who lived under Jehoshaphat, king of Judah (2Ch_19:11). B.C. ante 912. SEE HIGH-PRIEST.

In Ezr_7:3, either his or a former person's father is called Mesaroth. B C. cir. 809. SEE HIGH-PRIEST.

Otherwise called UZZIAH SEE UZZIAH (q.v.), king of Judah, (2Ki_14:21; 2Ki_15:1; 2Ki_15:6-8; 2Ki_15:17; 2Ki_15:23; 2Ki_15:27; 1Ch_3:12, etc.).

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. Neh_10:35-39; Neh_12:27-30; Neh_12:44-47).
16. The son of Hilkiah and father of Seraiah, which latter was the last high- priest before the captivity (1Ch_6:13-14; 1Ch_9:11; Ezr_7:1; Ezr_7:3). B.C. cir. 600.

18. The Hebrew name of ABEDNEGO SEE ABEDNEGO (q.v.), one of Daniel's three friends who were cast into the fiery furnace (Dan_1:7; Dan_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.
19 One of the nobles who returned from Babylon (Neh_7:7; Neh_12:33), and joined in the oath of fidelity to the law (Neh_10:2), and assisted in interpreting it to the people (Neh_8:7). His father's name was Maaseiah, and he repaired that part of the wall of Jerusalem opposite his house (Neh_3:23-24). In Ezr_2:2, he is called SERAIAH. B.C. 446-410.

9. 2Ch_21:2.
10. Several others: 1Ch_6:36 = Ezra, 1Ch_9:11; Neh_3:23-24; Neh_8:7; 2Ch_29:12; 2Ch_28:12; compare Jer_43:2; Neh_12:32-33; 1Ch_2:38-39; Azariah whose name proves that the genealogy in 1Ch_2:36-41 was made in Hezekiah's reign, for Azariah (1Ch_2:38) appears from 2Ch_23:1; 2Ch_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. Zabad in 1Ch_2:36-37 (compare 1Ch_11:41) was contemporary of David.
11. Uzziah, meaning much the same, the might of Jehovah (2Ki_14:21; 2Ki_15:1-6).

Azari'ah. (whom the Lord helps). A common name in Hebrew, and 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. The principal persons who bore this name were ?
1. Son of Ahimaaz. 1Ch_6:9. He appears from 1Ki_4:2 to have succeeded Zadok, his grandfather, in the high priesthood, in the reign of Solomon, Ahimaaz having died before Zadok. (B.C. About 1000). See Ahimaaz.
2. A chief officer of Solomon's, the son of Nathan, perhaps David's grandson. 1Ki_4:5.
3. Tenth king of Judah, more frequently called Uzziah. 2Ki_14:21; 2Ki_15:1; 2Ki_15:6; 2Ki_15:8; 2Ki_15:17; 2Ki_15:23; 2Ki_15:27; 1Ch_8:12.
4. Son of Ethan, of the sons of Zerah, where, perhaps, Zerahiah is the more probable reading. 1Ch_2:8.
5. Son of Jehu of the family of the Jerahmeelites, and descended from Jarha the Egyptian slave of Sheshan. 1Ch_2:38-39. He was probably one of the captains of hundreds in the time of Athaliah mentioned in 2Ch_23:1. (B.C. 886).
6. The son of Johanan. 1Ch_6:10 He must have been high priest in the reign of Abijah and Asa. (B.C. 939).
7. Another Azariah is inserted between Hilkiah, in Josiah's reign, and Seraiah who was put to death by Nebuchadnezzar, in 1Ch_6:13-15.
8. Son of Zephaniah, a Kohathite, and ancestor of Samuel the prophet. 1Ch_6:36. Apparently the same as Uzziah in 1Ch_6:24.
9. Azariah; the son of Oded, 2Ch_15:1 called simply Oded in 2Cj_15:8, was a remarkable prophet in the days of King Asa, and a contemporary of Azariah the son of Johanan the high priest, and of Hanani the seer. (B.C. 939).
10. Son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. 2Ch_21:2. (B.C.910).
11. Another son of Jehoshaphat, and brother of the preceding. 2Ch_21:2.

13. Son of Jeroham, one of the captains of Judah in the time of Athaliah. 2Ch_23:1.
14. The high priest in the reign of Uzziah king of Judah. The most memorable event of his life is that which is recorded in 2Ch_26:17-20. (B.C. 810). Azariah was contemporary with Isaiah the prophet and with Amos and Joel.
15. Son of Johanan, one of the captains of Ephraim in the reign of Ahaz. 2Ch_28:12.

17. A Merarite, son of Jehalelel, in the time of Hezekiah. 2Ch_29:12.
18. The high priest in the days of Hezekiah. 2Ch_31:10; 2Ch_31:13. He appears to have co operated zealously with the king in that thorough purification of the Temple and restoration of the Temple service, which was so conspicuous a feature in his reign. He succeeded Urijah, who was high priest in the reign of Ahaz.
19. Son of Maaseiah who repaired part of the wall of Jerusalem in the time of Nehemiah. Neh_3:23-24. (B.C. 446-410).
20. One of the leaders of the children of the province who went up from Babylon with Zerubbabel. Neh_7:7.
21. One of the Levites who assisted Ezra in instructing the people in the knowledge of the law. Neh_8:7.
22. One of the priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah Neh_10:2 and probably the same with the Azariah who assisted in the dedication of the city wall. Neh_12:33.
23. Jer_13:2. (Jezaniah).
24. The original name of Abednego. Dan_1:6; Dan_1:7; Dan_1:11; Dan_1:19. He appears to have been of the seed-royal of Judah. (B.C. 603).
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
or UZZIAH, king of Judah, son of Amaziah. He began to reign at the age of sixteen years, and reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; his mother's name being Jecholiah, 2 Kings 15. Azariah did that which was right in the sight of the Lord; nevertheless he did not destroy the high places; and, against the express prohibition of God, the people continued to sacrifice there. Having taken upon him to offer incense in the temple, which office belonged entirely to the priests, he was struck with a leprosy, and continued without the city, separated from other men until the day of his death, 2 Chronicles 26. Josephus says, that upon this occasion a great earthquake happened; and that the temple opening at the top, a ray of light darted upon the king's forehead, the very moment he took the censer into his hand, and he instantly became a leper; nay, that the earthquake was so very violent, that it tore in sunder a mountain west of Jerusalem, and rolled one half of it over and over to the distance of four furlongs, till at length it was stopped by another mountain which stood over against it; but choked up the highway, and covered the king's gardens with dust. This is what Josephus adds to the history related in the Chronicles; but the truth of it may be justly suspected. We know, indeed, that there was a very great earthquake in the reign of Uzziah; for Amo_1:1, and Zec_14:5, make mention of it: however, it is not certain that it happened at the very time that Uzziah took upon him to offer incense.
During the time that Uzziah was a leper, his son Jotham, as his father's viceroy, took the public administration upon himself, and succeeded him after his death, which happened in the fifty-second year of his reign. A.M. 3246. He was not buried in the royal sepulchre; but in the same field, at some distance, on account of his leprosy.
The first part of Uzziah's reign was very successful: he obtained great advantages over the Philistines, Ammonites, and Arabians. He made additions to the fortifications at Jerusalem, and always kept an army on foot of three hundred and seven thousand men, and upwards, 2 Chronicles 26; and he had great magazines, well stored with all sorts of arms, as well offensive as defensive; and he was a great lover of agriculture.

Azariah
(Hebrews Azaryah'. עֲזִרְיָה, helped by Jehovah, answering to the German name Gottheef; also in the prolonged form Azarya'hu, עֲזרְיָהוּ. 1Ki_4:2; 1Ki_4:5; 2Ki_15:6; 2Ki_15:8; 2Ch_15:1; 2Ch_21:2; 2Ch_22:6; 2Ch_23:1; 2Ch_26:17; 2Ch_26:20; 2Ch_28:12; 2Ch_29:12; 2Ch_31:10; 2Ch_31:13; Sept. Α᾿ζαρίας and Α᾿ζαρία), 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.
1. Apparently the only son of Ethan, the grandson of Judah (1Ch_2:8). B.C. 1856.
2. A son of Jehu and father of Helez, of the tribe of Judah (1Ch_2:38-39). B.C. post 1046.
3. A person named as son of the high-priest Zadok, and an officer in the cabinet of Solomon (1Ki_4:2). B.C. cir. 1000. He is perhaps the same, however, with No. 6 below.
4. A son of Nathan and captain of King Solomon's guards (1Ki_4:5). B.C. cir. 1000.
5. A prophet who met King Asa on his return from a great victory over the Cushite king Zerah (2Ch_15:1, where he is called the son of Oded, but Oded simply in 2Ch_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.
6. A high-priest, son of Ahimaaz and father (grandfather) of Johanan (1Ch_6:9), perhaps the father of Amariah, who lived under Jehoshaphat, king of Judah (2Ch_19:11). B.C. ante 912. SEE HIGH-PRIEST.
7. One of the sons of king Jehoshaphat (2Ch_21:2, where the name is repeated, as if he had two sons of this name). B.C. post 912.
8. Otherwise called AHAZIAH SEE AHAZIAH (q.v.), king of Judah (2Ch_22:6).
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 (2Ch_23:1). B.C.877.
10. A son of Obed, another captain of a hundred, who joined Jehoiada in the same enterprise (2Ch_23:1). B.C. 877.
11. A person named as son of Johanan and father of another Amariah, a high-priest (1Ch_6:10-11), whom some suppose the same as ZECHARIAH, son of Jehoiada, who was killed in the reign of Joash of Judah (2Ch_24:20-22). In Ezr_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 (2Ch_26:17; 2Ch_26:20). B.C. 781. 12. Otherwise called UZZIAH SEE UZZIAH (q.v.), king of Judah, (2Ki_14:21; 2Ki_15:1; 2Ki_15:6-8; 2Ki_15:17; 2Ki_15:23; 2Ki_15:27; 1Ch_3:12, etc.).

15. A high-priest in the time of Hezekiah (2Ch_31:10; 2Ch_31:13). B.C. 726. He seems to be the same incorrectly called AHITUB in 1Ch_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. Neh_10:35-39; Neh_12:27-30; Neh_12:44-47).
16. The son of Hilkiah and father of Seraiah, which latter was the last high- priest before the captivity (1Ch_6:13-14; 1Ch_9:11; Ezr_7:1; Ezr_7:3). B.C. cir. 600.
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 (Jer_43:2-7). B.C. 587.
18. The Hebrew name of ABEDNEGO SEE ABEDNEGO (q.v.), one of Daniel's three friends who were cast into the fiery furnace (Dan_1:7; Dan_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.
19 One of the nobles who returned from Babylon (Neh_7:7; Neh_12:33), and joined in the oath of fidelity to the law (Neh_10:2), and assisted in interpreting it to the people (Neh_8:7). His father's name was Maaseiah, and he repaired that part of the wall of Jerusalem opposite his house (Neh_3:23-24). In Ezr_2:2, he is called SERAIAH. B.C. 446-410.
