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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 6:9

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. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 6:11

Ahitub - Between Amariah and Hilkiah 1 Chronicles 6:13 this genealogy is most certainly defective, as it gives three generations only for a period for which nine generations are furnished by the list of the kings of Judah, and which cannot be estimated as much short of 200 years. Further, no one of the names in this part of the list occurs among the High priests of the period, several of whom are mentioned both in the Second Book of Chronicles and in Kings; the explanation of which seems to be... read more
