The name means "Yahweh has helped," reflecting a common theme of divine assistance. In the genealogical context of 1 Chronicles, Azariah is part of the lineage of Judah, which is significant as it traces the ancestry of the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. This lineage underscores the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham and David regarding their descendants. The mention of Azariah here connects to the broader narrative of God's faithfulness to His covenant people.<p><b>Helez was the father of Elasah</b><br>Helez is identified as one of David's mighty warriors in other parts of Scripture, specifically in <a href="/2_samuel/23-26.htm">2 Samuel 23:26</a> and <a href="/1_chronicles/11-27.htm">1 Chronicles 11:27</a>. This connection to David's elite group of soldiers highlights the valor and significance of Helez within the history of Israel. The name Helez means "strength" or "vigor," which is fitting for a warrior. The genealogical record in Chronicles serves to establish the continuity of God's people and their leaders, emphasizing the importance of heritage and divine purpose.<br><br>Elasah, the son of Helez, is a less prominent figure in the biblical narrative, but his inclusion in the genealogy signifies the ongoing fulfillment of God's promises through successive generations. The name Elasah means "God has made," which can be seen as a testament to God's creative power and sovereignty in establishing His people. This lineage, though not extensively detailed in terms of individual exploits, contributes to the overarching biblical theme of God's providential guidance and the unfolding of His redemptive plan through history.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/azariah.htm">Azariah</a></b><br>A descendant of Judah, Azariah is part of the genealogical record that traces the lineage of the tribe of Judah.
