Azariah (Hebrew: עֲזַרְיָה ‘Ǎzaryāh, "Yah has helped") was the third High Priest after Zadok. C.f. 1 Kings 4:2, where he is called "son of Zadok", although he is elsewhere identified as the son of Ahimaaz.[1]
Although his name appears in the list of the Zadokite family (1 Chr. 5:30–40, 6:4-15 in other translations) there is no direct evidence in the Bible that he was a High Priest. According to the Book of Chronicles, Azariah was believed to have been a priest who served at King Solomon's Temple.[2] Azariah (Azarias) does appear on the list of High Priests by Josephus.[3]
