The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:4

Eleazar . From this name inclusive follow the twenty-two, which terminate with Jehozadak, who indeed never attained him s elf to the office of high priest, but was son of Geraiah, last high priest before the Captivity, and father of Jeshua, high priest, who returned with Zerubbabel from the Captivity. It has been pointed out by Lord A. C. Hervey that the name Jehozadak is of the same meaning with Zedekiah, the last king before the Captivity; and that Jeshua is the same in meaning with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:5-7

Of the five succeeding names, Bukki, Uzzi, Zerahiah, Meraioth, Amariah , it may be said that they reappear in the list of Ezra 7:1-28 ; but that little or nothing else is known of them. Lightfoot ('Temple Service,' 4. § 1) supposes that the change of priesthood family to Ithamar took place after Meraioth. But it is just as probable that the gap between Abishua and Eli, or possibly even between Phinehas and Eli, was filled by holders of the high priest office unknown by name to us. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:8

Ahitub . With this name begins the light again. Ahitub, Zadok, Ahimaaz, and Azariah are of frequent mention in the Books of Samuel and Kings. Ahitub, here and elsewhere plainly given as father of Zadok, seems to be given as father of Meraioth in 1 Chronicles 9:11 and Nehemiah 11:11 , and grandfather of Zadok; and in both passages is termed "ruler of the house of God"—an expression probably equivalent to high priest, as Azariah, high priest in the reign of Hezekiah, is also so described (... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:9

Ahimaaz . The first important notice of him is found in 2 Samuel 15:36 , and the last in 2 Samuel 19:29 . He is not to be identified with Solomon's "officer" in Naphtali ( 1 Kings 4:15 ). Azariah. As above said, it is almost without a doubt after this Azariah ( 1 Kings 4:2 ) that the parenthetical comment of next verse should be read. Again, this Azariah must not be identified with him of the time of King Uzziah ( 2 Chronicles 26:17 , 2 Chronicles 26:20 ), who must have been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:10

Of Johanan and Azariah , his son, nothing can be found with any certainty. It is presumable that they were priests in the reigns of Abijah and Asa. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:11

Amariah . High priest in the reign of Jehoshaphat ( 2 Chronicles 19:11 ; see Smith's 'Bible Dictionary,' sub voce , 2). A step ascertainable as this helps to keep the line and chronology steady amid surrounding obscurity. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:13

Shallum , called in 1 Chronicles 9:11 and Nehemiah 11:11 Meshullam. There are at fewest fifteen persons of this name. The present is named as ancestor of Ezra ( Ezra 7:2 ). Hillkiah . There are seven persons of this name. The present was the celebrated one of them all; and from three chief circumstances: read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:14

Azariah . The third occurrence of this name in this list. This person is found again in Ezra 2:1-70 :l, but is wanting in Nehemiah 11:11 . Seraiah ; found also in Nehemiah 11:11 , in a list which omits the preceding Azariah, and in Ezra 7:1 . The end of his high priesthood and of himself is recorded with that of Zephaniah ( 2 Kings 25:18 , 2 Kings 25:21 ), and (not the Seraiah, " the quiet prince," of Jeremiah 51:59-64 ) he is also spoken of in Jeremiah 52:24-27 . He was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:15

Jehozadak . He did not share the violent end of his father, nor did he attain his father's high priest office, but lived to the end a captive (see note on 1 Chronicles 6:4 ). Where this name occurs in Haggai and Zechariah, it is the same in the Hebrew as here, though Englished in the Authorized Version as Josedech. Where it occurs in Ezra and Nehemiah, the shorter form of Jozadak is found in the Hebrew as in the Authorized Version. read more
