Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Ahimaaz begat Azariah - It must, apparently, be this Azariah, and not the son of Johanan 1-Chronicles 6:10, who was high priest at the dedication of Solomon's Temple. For Zadok, who lived into the reign of Solomon 1-Kings 4:4 cannot have been succeeded by a great-great-grandson. The notice in 1-Chronicles 6:10, which is attached to the second Azariah, must, beyond a doubt, belong properly to the first.
