Azariah I

Azariah ( ‘Ǎzaryāh, "Yah has helped") was the third High Priest after Zadok. C.f. , where he is called "son of Zadok", although he is elsewhere identified as the son of Ahimaaz. Although his name appears in the list of the Zadokite family (, 6:4-15 in other translations) there is no direct evidence in the Bible that he was a High Priest. According to the Book of Chronicles, Azariah was believed to have been a priest who served at King Solomon's Temple. Azariah (Azarias) does appear on the list of High Priests by Josephus.
