Azari'ah is a name of Hebrew origin meaning "Yahweh has helped" or "Yahweh is my help." It is a common name in the Old Testament, borne by several individuals who played significant roles in the history of Israel and Judah. The name reflects a deep reliance on God's assistance and providence, a theme prevalent throughout the biblical narrative.

1. Azariah, the Son of Ahimaaz: Azariah was a priest during the reign of King Solomon. He is mentioned in the genealogical records of the priests in 1 Chronicles 6:9-10. His lineage underscores the continuity of the priestly line from Aaron, emphasizing the importance of maintaining religious and spiritual leadership in Israel.

2. Azariah, the Son of Oded: This Azariah was a prophet who delivered a message from God to King Asa of Judah. In 2 Chronicles 15:1-7, Azariah encourages Asa to seek the Lord and assures him of God's presence and support if he remains faithful. His prophetic ministry highlights the role of prophets in guiding and admonishing the kings and people of Israel.

3. Azariah, the High Priest under King Uzziah: Azariah served as the high priest during the reign of King Uzziah. He is noted for his confrontation with Uzziah when the king unlawfully attempted to burn incense in the temple, a duty reserved for the priests. In 2 Chronicles 26:16-20, Azariah, along with eighty other priests, courageously opposed the king, resulting in Uzziah's leprosy. This incident underscores the sanctity of the priestly office and the importance of adhering to God's commandments.

4. Azariah, the Son of Johanan: Mentioned in 1 Chronicles 6:10, this Azariah is part of the priestly genealogy, further illustrating the hereditary nature of the priesthood and the emphasis on maintaining a pure and unbroken line of service to God.

5. Azariah, the Son of Maaseiah: In the time of King Hezekiah, Azariah was one of the leaders who supported the king's religious reforms. 2 Chronicles 31:13 records his involvement in organizing the distribution of offerings, tithes, and dedicated gifts, reflecting the collaborative effort to restore proper worship and obedience to the Mosaic Law.

6. Azariah, the Son of Hoshaiah: This Azariah is mentioned in the context of the political turmoil following the fall of Jerusalem. In Jeremiah 43:2, he is one of the leaders who opposed the prophet Jeremiah's counsel to remain in Judah, choosing instead to flee to Egypt. His actions serve as a cautionary tale about the consequences of disregarding divine guidance.

7. Azariah, also known as Abednego: One of the most well-known bearers of the name is Azariah, who, along with Hananiah (Shadrach) and Mishael (Meshach), was taken into Babylonian captivity and given the name Abednego. In Daniel 1:6-7, these young men are noted for their faithfulness to God, refusing to defile themselves with the king's food and later being delivered from the fiery furnace (Daniel 3). Azariah's account is a powerful testament to God's deliverance and the steadfastness of faith under persecution.

The various individuals named Azari'ah in the Bible illustrate a range of roles and responsibilities, from priestly duties to prophetic ministry and faithful witness. Each instance of the name serves as a reminder of the importance of relying on God's help and remaining faithful to His commands.Azari'ah (46 Occurrences)
