This name is common in the Old Testament, and it often signifies a person who has a significant role in the religious or royal context of Israel. Hilkiah, Azariah's father, is a notable figure, often associated with the discovery of the Book of the Law during King Josiah's reign (<a href="/2_kings/22-8.htm">2 Kings 22:8</a>). This connection highlights a lineage deeply involved in the spiritual leadership and reform of Israel.the son of Meshullam Meshullam is a name that appears multiple times in the genealogies and narratives of the Old Testament. It means "friend" or "ally," suggesting a person of trust and reliability. The inclusion of Meshullam in this genealogy underscores the importance of familial lines in maintaining the priestly and Levitical duties, as well as the continuity of worship practices.the son of Zadok Zadok was a high priest during the reigns of David and Solomon, known for his loyalty to David during Absalom's rebellion (<a href="/2_samuel/15-24.htm">2 Samuel 15:24-29</a>). The Zadokite priesthood is significant because it was established by divine appointment and continued to serve in the temple, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness and divine selection in religious leadership.the son of Meraioth Meraioth is a less frequently mentioned name, but it is part of the priestly lineage. The name means "rebellious" or "bitter," which may reflect the challenges faced by the priestly families throughout Israel's history. This lineage highlights the enduring nature of the priestly office despite external and internal challenges.the son of Ahitub Ahitub is another name associated with the priestly line, often linked to the high priesthood. The name means "my brother is good," suggesting a heritage of goodness and righteousness. This connection reinforces the idea of a divinely ordained priesthood that serves as a mediator between God and His people.the chief official of God’s temple This phrase indicates a position of high authority and responsibility within the temple, overseeing the worship and sacrificial systems. The temple was the center of Israel's religious life, and the chief official played a crucial role in maintaining the sanctity and order of worship. This role can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate High Priest and mediator between God and humanity (<a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>). The temple's significance as God's dwelling place among His people foreshadows the coming of Christ, who embodies the presence of God with us.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/a/azariah.htm">Azariah</a> A priestly figure mentioned as the chief officer of the house of God.

The names coincide so far as Zadok; but either Meraioth and Ahitub have been transposed (see <a href="/1_chronicles/6-7.htm" title="Meraioth begat Amariah, and Amariah begat Ahitub,">1Chronicles 6:7</a>), or perhaps Meraioth has been omitted in <a href="/1_chronicles/6-12.htm" title="And Ahitub begat Zadok, and Zadok begat Shallum,">1Chronicles 6:12</a>. Instead of Azariah, the parallel in <a href="/nehemiah/11-11.htm" title="Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, was the ruler of the house of God.">Nehemiah 11:11</a> has Seraiah, the rest of the verse being verbatim the same as here. A list of priests who went up with Zerubbabel and Joshua begins with Seraiah (<a href="/nehemiah/12-1.htm" title="Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,">Nehemiah 12:1</a>), and in <a href="/nehemiah/10-2.htm" title="Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah,">Nehemiah 10:2</a> Seraiah and Azariah are priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah the Tirshatha, about seventy years later. <a href="/nehemiah/12-12.htm" title="And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;">Nehemiah 12:12</a> shows that Seraiah was the name of a priestly clan. Perhaps the name Seraiah should be read in the present passage before, or instead of, Azariah. (Comp. <a href="/context/1_chronicles/6-13.htm" title="And Shallum begat Hilkiah, and Hilkiah begat Azariah,">1Chronicles 6:13-14</a>.) If, however, the name is official, not personal, like the names in the preceding verse, this supposition is hardly necessary. Either Azariah or Seraiah might equally represent the priestly house intended. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 11-13. - This list resembles much more closely that of <a href="/nehemiah/11-11.htm">Nehemiah 11:11-14</a>. The one thousand and seven hundred and three score of this passage is not reached by five hundred and sixty-eight, when the numbers of <a href="/nehemiah/11-12.htm">Nehemiah 11:12-14</a> are all added together. The name Azariah (in Nehemiah appearing, probably simply by copyist's error, as Seraiah), here described as ruler of the house of God, probably points to the high priest Eliashib, who held that office in the time of Nehemiah, and was descended from Seraiah (<a href="/1_chronicles/6-14.htm">1 Chronicles 6:14</a>). The ins and outs of the lists of these verses confirm the supposition that the way in which differences in the other lists occur are easily to be accounted for, in one compiler having selected some of the names of the whole line of genealogy, and another others, though in each several case according to reasons often unknown by us. Thus, between Jeroham and Pashur the table of Nehemiah supplies three additional links in the names Pelaliah, Amzi, Zechariah; while in our very next verse, for the three between Maasiai (Amashai) and Meshillemith, Nehemiah has only two names, and neither of those two (Azareel, Ahasai) the same as found here. <a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Azariah וַעֲזַרְיָ֨ה (wa·‘ă·zar·yāh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5838.htm">Strong's 5838: </a> Azariah -- 'Yah has helped', the name of a number of Israelites son בֶן־ (ḇen-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Hilkiah, חִלְקִיָּ֜ה (ḥil·qî·yāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2518.htm">Strong's 2518: </a> Hilkiah -- 'my portion is Yah', the name of several Israelites the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Meshullam, מְשֻׁלָּ֣ם (mə·šul·lām) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4918.htm">Strong's 4918: </a> Meshullam -- the name of a number of Israelites the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Zadok, צָד֗וֹק (ṣā·ḏō·wq) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6659.htm">Strong's 6659: </a> Zadok -- the name of several Israelites the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Meraioth, מְרָיוֹת֙ (mə·rā·yō·wṯ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4812.htm">Strong's 4812: </a> Meraioth -- descendant of Aaron, also a priestly family the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Ahitub, אֲחִיט֔וּב (’ă·ḥî·ṭūḇ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_285.htm">Strong's 285: </a> Ahitub -- 'my brother is goodness', two Israelites the chief official נְגִ֖יד (nə·ḡîḏ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5057.htm">Strong's 5057: </a> A commander, civil, military, religious, honorable themes of God’s הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ (hā·’ĕ·lō·hîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative temple; בֵּ֥ית (bêṯ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">1 Chronicles 9:11 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/9-11.htm">OT History: 1 Chronicles 9:11 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_chronicles/9-10.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Chronicles 9:10"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 9:10" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_chronicles/9-12.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Chronicles 9:12"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 9:12" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
