Azariah
The name "Azariah" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "Yahweh has helped." This name is significant in the context of the priestly lineage, as it reflects the divine assistance and favor that the priests were believed to receive from God. Azariah is a common name in the Old Testament, often associated with individuals who played crucial roles in maintaining the spiritual and religious integrity of Israel. The name itself serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and support to those who serve Him.

was the father of
This phrase indicates the genealogical lineage, which is a central theme in 1 Chronicles. The chronicler meticulously records the ancestry to establish the legitimacy and continuity of the priestly line. In the Hebrew culture, lineage was not just a matter of heritage but also of identity and divine purpose. The phrase underscores the importance of family and generational blessings in fulfilling God's covenant promises.

Amariah
The name "Amariah" means "Yahweh has promised" or "Yahweh speaks." This name is emblematic of the prophetic and priestly roles in Israel, where God's promises and words were central to the community's faith and practice. Amariah, as a descendant in the priestly line, would have been responsible for upholding the covenant and ensuring that the people remained faithful to God's commands. His name serves as a testament to the enduring promises of God to His people.

Amariah was the father of
This repetition of the genealogical formula emphasizes the continuity and stability of the priestly line. It highlights the transmission of spiritual authority and responsibility from one generation to the next. In the context of the chronicler's work, this continuity is crucial for understanding the unbroken line of service to God, which was vital for the religious life of Israel.

Ahitub
The name "Ahitub" means "my brother is good" or "brother of goodness." This name reflects the communal and relational aspects of the priestly office. The priests were not only servants of God but also leaders within the community, fostering relationships and ensuring the well-being of the people. Ahitub's place in the genealogy underscores the importance of brotherhood and community in the life of faith, reminding us that spiritual leadership is as much about relationships as it is about rituals.

Verse 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.
