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 2Ch 26:17, 18. Verse 14. Seraiah] He was put to death by Nebuchadnezzar, 2Ki 25:18, 21.
