Azariah (Uzziah) is the name of several individuals in the Old Testament. Azariah means the Lord has helped.

Azariah is the son of Amaziah and Jecholiah. Azariah became the tenth king of the kingdom of Judah. At 16, he became king and reigned for 52 years. Scripture classifies him as a good king, but he did have a few issues. He attempted to burn incense in the temple, but the priests confronted him. While standing in the temple with the intent to burn incense, leprosy struck him. Being leprous, Azariah was not allowed to enter the temple. He was leprous for the rest of his life; therefore, he endured confinement in a convalescence facility.
Azariah is one of the friends of Daniel that was captured and taken into Babylonian captivity, and Azariah is the Hebrew name for Abednego.
