And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, etc.] That is, the son of Azariah, whose name was Seraiah, (see <130613>1 Chronicles 6:13,14 <161111>Nehemiah 11:11), whose pedigree is traced up from Hilkiah through Meshullam, called Shallum, (<130612>1 Chronicles 6:12,13). Zadok, Meraioth, to Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God; high priest in it; which is to be understood of Ahitub, and not of Azariah or Seraiah in the time of Ezra; for Joshua was then high priest.
