Named only once in scripture, as the link between Elyakim and Tzadok: 'Elyakim begat Azor; and Azor begat Tzadok' (Matthew 1:13–14)
“'Elyakim begat Azor; and Azor begat Tzadok' (Matthew 1:13–14)”
Traditional note: See the general note on the 'silent generation' (Matthew 1:13–15) in 'aviud'. 'Azor' has no other scriptural attestation as a personal name; the reconstruction given here ('Azzur,' 'helped') is the most commonly proposed Hebrew underlay for the Greek 'Azor,' offered with appropriate caution.
