And Ahimaaz begat Azariah, and Azariah begat Johanan,

Ahimaaz. Lord A. Hervey ('Genealogies') - 'There is no evidence, beyond the assertion of Josephus, that he ever filled the office of high priest, and Josephus may have concluded that he did, merely because in this genealogy of the high priests he intervenes between Zadok and Azariah. Judging only from 1 Kings 4:2 compared with 1 Chronicles 6:10, we should conclude that Ahimaaz died before his father Zadok, and that Zadok was succeeded by his grandson Azariah.'
