Azariah

Who is Azariah?

Azariah was the third High Priest after Zadok. C.f. I Kings 4:2, where he is called "son of Zadok", although he is elsewhere identified as the son of Ahimaaz I Chronicles 5:35. Although his name appears in the list of the Zadokite dynasty there is no direct evidence in Tanakh that he was a High Priest. Azariah does appear on the list of High Priests by Josephus. According to the Book of Chronicles, Azariah was believed to have been the high priest that served at King Solomon's Temple.
