26 different people in the OT are recorded with this name. [2]
AZARIAH was also the name of a prophet who banned all prostitution and was called Asa for short. He received rebuke from another seer for relying on the King of Syria as opposed to divine help. This follows on from us raising the issue of prostitution of Iraqi's in Syria in recent days. Plus the million Iraqi's that are not allowed to work in Syria. Some people have tried to make excuses for it, but there is no excuse for poverty in the Islamic countries when they have many oil rich nations. There is no excuse for Islamic men that take advantage of children as young as six. While the world defends Islam, its less good ways and the ways of their prophet, women and children are being sold into the sex trade by their brothers and fathers.
"People are not a commodity, without love they become so" from Sacred Words
It is also the Hebrew name for Abed-nego, the companion of Daniel [2]
There was also an Indian Christian missionary called Vedanayagam Samuel Azariah in Southern India [3] and earlier this morning we contacted colleagues about contacts in India for the mission to India in 2012.
May the will of HaShem be done to help these women and children.
