Azariah (high priest)

Azariah was the third High Priest after Zadok. He was one of the "princes" during the reign of Solomon, as mentioned in I Kings 4:2, where he is called "son of Zadok", although he is elsewhere identified as the son of Ahimaaz I Chronicles 5:35. Although his name appears in the list of the Zadokite dynasty (I Chr. 5:30-40, 6:4-15 in other translations) there is no direct evidence in Tanakh that he was a High Priest. Azariah (Azarias) does appear on the list of High Priests by Josephus.[1]
