1 Chronicles 6:3-16
Verse 4 Eleazar begat Phinehas - As the high priesthood continued in this family for a long time, the sacred historian confines himself to this chiefly, omitting Nadab and Abihu, and even the family of Ithamar. Verse 8 Ahitub begat Zadok - Through this person the high priesthood came again into the family of Eleazar. Verse 10 Johanan - Supposed to be the same as Jehoiada. Executed the priest's office - Probably this refers to the dignified manner in which Azariah opposed King Uzziah, who wished to invade the priest's office, and offer incense in the temple. See 2Chr 26:17, 2Chr 26:18. Verse 14 Seraiah - He was put to death by Nebuchadnezzar, 2Kgs 25:18, 2Kgs 25:21.
