This name is associated with several individuals in the biblical narrative, each playing distinct roles within the context of Israel's history and religious life.<br><br>1. <b>Azriel, Father of Jerimoth</b>: Azriel is mentioned as the father of Jerimoth, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali. In <a href="/1_chronicles/27-19.htm">1 Chronicles 27:19</a>, Jerimoth is listed among the officers who served King David, overseeing the tribe of Naphtali. The verse states: "Over Naphtali was Jerimoth son of Azriel; and with him were 24,000 men in his division." This reference highlights Azriel's connection to the tribal leadership during the united monarchy of Israel.<br><br>2. <b>Azriel, Father of Seraiah</b>: Another Azriel is noted as the father of Seraiah, an official during the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah. In <a href="/jeremiah/36-26.htm">Jeremiah 36:26</a>, Seraiah is mentioned in the context of the king's attempt to arrest the prophet Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch: "And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them." This passage underscores the political tensions and the opposition faced by Jeremiah during his prophetic ministry.<br><br>3. <b>Azriel, Father of Maasai</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/9-12.htm">1 Chronicles 9:12</a>, Azriel is identified as the father of Maasai, a priest who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The verse reads: "Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; and their fellow workers, who were able men, were 1,760." This reference places Azriel within the priestly lineage, contributing to the restoration of worship in the Second Temple period.<br><br>The name Azriel, with its meaning emphasizing divine assistance, reflects a common theme in the biblical narrative where individuals and communities rely on God's help and guidance. Each mention of Azriel in the Scriptures, though brief, connects to broader themes of leadership, faithfulness, and the unfolding of God's plan for His people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Azriel</span><p>same as Asriel<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Azriel</span><p>(<i>whom God helps</i>). <ol> <li>The head of a house of the half tribe of Manasseh beyond Jordan, a man of renown.
