Shaul. 28

Azariah. i.e., whom Jehovah aids; Jah has helped 2:8,38,39 3:12 6:9,10,11,13,14,36 9:11 2Ch 21:2 23:1 Ezr 7:1,3 Ne 3:23,24 7:7 8:7 10:2 12:33 Jer 43:2 Da 1:6,7,11,19 1Ki 4:2 1Ki 4:5 2Ki 15:6,8 2Ch 15:1 21:2 22:6 23:1 26:17,20 28:12 2Ch 29:12 31:10,13

(1) A man of Judah, family of Zerah, house of Ethan, 1 Ch 2:8.
(2) A Levite, family of Kohath, line of Izhar, and an ancestor of Samuel the prohpet and Heman the singer, 1 Ch 6:36; perhaps 2 Ch 29:12.

(3) One of Solomon's officials, son of the high priest Zadok, and brother of Ahimaaz, 1 Ki 4:2.

(4) Grandson of Zadok and son of Ahimaaz, in the line of high-priestly succession, 1 Ch 6:9.

(5) Son of Nathan, and hence probably Solomon's nephew (2 Sa 5:14), who was over Solomon's twelve tax-collectors, 1 Ki 4:5.

(6) A prophet, son of Obed, who encouraged king Asa to persevere in national religious reformation. 2Ch 15:1-8

(7) Two sons of king Jehoshaphat, 2 Ch 21:2. The recurrence of the same name in the family is surprising. It may be due to an early corruption of the text; or, if the text is correct, to a difference of mother, the two boys being half-brothers (Compare the Herods). It cannot be explained by the theory that the younger was named after a deceased elder brother, for the two seem to have been alive together and to have been put to death at the same time (Davis).

(8) A man of Judah, family of Hezron, house of Jerahmeel, 1 Ch 2:38, 39. His grandfather was Obed (1 Ch 2:38); hence he was perhaps the captain Azariah, son of Obed, who assisted in overthrowing Athaliah and placing Joash on the throne, 2 Ch 23:1.

(9) Another captain, son of Jeroham, who aided in overthrowing Athaliah, 2 Ch 23:1.

(10) A prince of Ephraim, son of Johanan, who aided in persuading the soldiers of Pekah's army to release the captives of Judah, 2 Ch 28:12.

(11) A king of Judah, called also Uzziah (B.C. 811-759), 2 Ch 22:6; 23:1. 2Ki 14:21 15:1 *Compare with 2Ch 26:1

(12) A high priest, 1 Ch 6:10; probably he who rebuked Uzziah for encroaching on the priest's office. 2Ch 26:17-20

(13) A high priest during Hezekiah's reign, possibly the same as (12), 2 Ch 31:10, 13.

(14) A Levite, family of Merari, who assisted in purifying the temple in Hezekiah's reign, 2 Ch 29:12.

(15) A high priest, son of Hilkiah and father of Seraiah, not long before the exile, 1 Ch 6:13, 14; perphaps 9:11.

(16) A son of Hoshaiah and an opponent of the prophet Jeremiah. Jer 43:2

(17) The Hebrew and original name of Abednego, Da 1:7.
(18) Grandfather of Ezra, Ezr 7:1.
(19) A prominent person, probably prince of Judah, who marched in the procession at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem. Ne 12:32,33

(20) A son of Maaseiah, who had a house at Jerusalem in Nehemiah's time, and repaired the wall in its immediate vicinity. Ne 3:23,24

(21) A priest, doubtless head of a father's house, who in the days of Nehemiah sealed the covenant to keep separate from foreigners and observe the law of God, Ne 10:2.

(22) A descendant of Hilkiah who was ruler of the house of God after the exile, 1 Ch 9:11; see however, Seraiah. Ne 11:11

(23) A king of Israel (not Uzziah), called Azariah in which is given in the next verse, 2 Ch 22:6, 7; 2Ch 22:7 *compare 2Ki 8:29 *(adapted from Davis Dictionary of the Bible, pp: 66, 67.

Zephaniah. Zep 1:1 While it is sufficiently evident that many of the variations of the names of persons have arisen from the carelessness of transcribers, or the inattention of translators, and others from a difference (probably dialectical) in the pronunciation (Jud 12:6; 2 Ki 8:21); it is also evident, that the same persons, as in these instances, must have had two or more totally distinct names.

Shaul, Uzziah, Uriel. ver. 24.
