1 Chronicles 9:11

And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam. — See 1 Chronicles 6:12. The names coincide so far as Zadok; but either Meraioth and Ahitub have been transposed (see 1 Chronicles 6:7), or perhaps Meraioth has been omitted in 1 Chronicles 6:12. Instead of Azariah, the parallel in Nehemiah 11:11 has Seraiah, the rest of the verse being verbatim the same as here. A list of priests who went up with Zerubbabel and Joshua begins with Seraiah (Nehemiah 12:1), and in Nehemiah 10:2 Seraiah and Azariah are priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah the Tirshatha, about seventy years later. Nehemiah 12:12 shows that Seraiah was the name of a priestly clan. Perhaps the name Seraiah should be read in the present passage before, or instead of, Azariah. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 6:13.) If, however, the name is official, not personal, like the names in the preceding verse, this supposition is hardly necessary. Either Azariah or Seraiah might equally represent the priestly house intended.
