Azariah (Hebrew - עזריהו `aZaRYaHOo "God Helped") was the third High Priest after Zadok. C.f. I Kings 4:2, where he is called "son of Zadok", although he is elsewhere identified as the son of Ahimaaz I Chronicles 5:35. Although his name appears in the list of the Zadokite family (I Chr. 5:30-40, 6:4-15 in other translations) there is no direct evidence in the Bible that he was a High Priest. Azariah (Azarias) does appear on the list of High Priests by Josephus.[1] According to the Book of Chronicles, Azariah was believed to have been a priest that served at King Solomon's Temple.[2]
