About Ahitub (Zerahiah)
Possibly the same as #2 above (scribes sometimes copy names twice), but probably another member of the priestly line of Eleazar, seven generations after #2 (1 Chronicles 6:11–12). Ahitub’s father was also named Amariah, and his son or grandson was Zadok (1 Chronicles 9:11; Nehemiah 11:11). His grandfather was Azariah. Ahitub is listed as an ancestor of Ezra (Ezra 7:2; 1 Esdras 8:2; 2 Esdras 1:1).
