Amariah
Amariah (Hebrew: אֲמַרְיָה) means "promised by God" in Hebrew.
It was commonly used as a name of priests in the History of ancient Israel and Judah. It appear several times in the Hebrew Bible:
One of the descendants of Aaron by Eleazar (1 Chronicles 6:7,52). He was probably the last of the high priests of Eleazar's line prior to the transfer of that office to Eli, of the line of Ithamar.
A Levite, son of Hebron, of the lineage of Moses (1 Chronicles 23:19; 24:23).
A "chief priest" who took an active part in the reformation under Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 19:11); probably the same as mentioned in 1 Chronicles 6:9.
An ancestor of Ezra (1 Chronicles 6:11; Ezra 7:3).
One of the high priests in the time of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 31:15).
Great-grandfather of Zephaniah (Zephaniah 1:1). A late 8th – early 7th century BCE bulla reading "[belonging to] Amaryahu, son of the King" might refer to him.
Great-grandfather of Athaiah (Nehemiah 11:4).
One of the persons who sealed the covenant (Nehemiah 10:3).
One of the persons who had taken 'strange wives' (Ezra 10:42).
