princes] By whose ministery he governed the kingdom, according to Jethro’s advice, Exodus 18:21. Azariah the son] If Zadek the priest (Chap. 2. 35.) be here meant, Azariah was his grand-childe, 1 Chronicles 6:8-9. But the Hebrew word 〈in non-Latin alphabet 〉signifieth a secular prince, as wel as an ecclesiasticall priest. This title is given to Davids sons (2 Samuel 8:18.) who are said to be chief about the king, 1 Chronicles 18:17. It is also given to Ira, Davids chief officer, 2 Samuel 20:26. and to Nathan, Solomons principall officer, v. 5. and to Josephs father in law (Genesis 41:45.) and to Moses his father in law, Exodus 3:16. It is therefore most probable that another Zadek is here meant; and that this Azariah was a vice-roy under Solomon, as Daniel 6:2-3. or as Genesis 41:44. the priest] Or, the chief officer.
