Meaning and etymology of the Hebrew name Azaziah
|
|
|
| |
Azaziah 
There are three men named Azaziah in the Bible, all relatively late in the narrative: a Levite musician who played the lyre while the king David moved the Ark of the covenant (1 Chronicles 15:21); the father of Hoshea, a vice-roy of Ephraim (1 Chronicles 27:20); and a chief officer of the temple during the monarchy of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 31:13).
The name Azaziah consists of two elements:
The second part is the appellative  , Jah, which in turn is an abbreviated form of the Tetragrammaton  , YHWH, or Yahweh.
For a meaning of the name Azaziah, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads Yahweh Is Strong. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names reads Strengthened Of The Lord. And BDB Theological Dictionary reads Yahweh Is Mighty.
