    Description

    Who was Azariah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Azariah, the descendant of Zadok, is mentioned in 1Ch.6.10-11 and Ezr.7.3 as the high priest who served during the reign of King Solomon. He was a descendant of Aaron, the first high priest of Israel, through the line of Eleazar. Azariah's father, Zadok, had been a prominent priest during the reigns of David and Solomon, known for his loyalty and faithfulness. As the high priest, Azariah would have held the most important religious position in the kingdom, being responsible for overseeing the temple worship, offering sacrifices, and mediating between the people and God. The fact that he served during Solomon's reign, a time of great prosperity and peace for Israel, highlights the significance of his role in maintaining the spiritual well-being of the nation.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Azariah5 of 5 entities the graph connects to Azariah, in 2 groups: kinship 4, events 1. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.ZadokChild of · 40 versesAhimaazChild of · 13 versesAmariahFather of · 2 versesJohananChild of · Father of · 2 versesKinshipJerusalem1 event · 888 versesEventsAzariah
