The son of Ethan:
Ethan is listed among the descendants of Judah, specifically in the genealogies that trace the lineage of the tribe. Ethan is also mentioned in 1 Kings 4:31 as one of the wise men whom Solomon surpassed in wisdom. This connection highlights the importance of wisdom and understanding in the biblical narrative. Ethan's inclusion in the genealogy underscores the significance of family lineage in Israelite culture, where ancestry was crucial for identity and inheritance. The genealogies in Chronicles serve to establish the continuity of God's covenant with His people, tracing the line through which the promises to Abraham and David would be fulfilled.

Azariah:
Azariah, meaning "Yahweh has helped," is a name that appears frequently in the Old Testament, indicating its popularity and the cultural emphasis on divine assistance. This particular Azariah is not extensively detailed in the biblical text, but the name itself reflects a common theme in Israelite history: reliance on God's help and intervention. The name Azariah is also associated with several other notable biblical figures, such as Azariah the priest in 2 Chronicles 26:17-20, who opposed King Uzziah's attempt to burn incense in the temple. This highlights the role of priests and prophets in maintaining the covenantal relationship between God and Israel. The recurrence of the name Azariah throughout the Bible serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the importance of seeking His guidance and support.

Lineage of Faith
Just as Ethan and Azariah are part of a larger account, we too are part of God's account. How are we contributing to the faith legacy in our families and communities?(8) The sons of Ethan.--Nothing is known of this Ethanite Azariah. It seems plain that the writer wished to name only the historically famous members of the Zarhite branch of Judah--in 1Chronicles 2:6, the four proverbial sages; in 1Chronicles 2:7, Achar who brought woe upon Israel by taking of the devoted spoils of Jericho.

Verse 8. - The line through Ethan, another of the seven grandsons, seems to stop with Azariah, a name found nowhere else.
