("Yah has helped")
1. The son of Zadok the priest; One of the officers of King Solomon (I Kgs 4:2).

5. A Levite descended from Aaron; the son of Ahimaaz and grandson of Zadok; the father of Johanan and grandfather of Azariah the priest (I Chr 6:10). He may be identified with Azariah No. 1.
6. A Levite descended from Aaron; the son of Johanan and father of Amariah. He served as priest in the Temple in the days of Solomon (I Chr 6:10). He is most probably identical with Azariah No. 5.

11. The son of Obed; one of the officers who conspired to dethrone Athaliah (II Chr 23:1). He is probably not to be identified with Azariah No.10 since they had different fathers.
12. The son of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. The name appears twice in the list of the six sons of Jehoshaphat (II Chr 21:2). It has been suggested that the second Azariah should read Uzziah; in Hebrew the second one is Azaryahu. He and his brothers were slain by their elder brother Jehoram, who succeeded their father as king of Judah (II Chr 21:1).
