And Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud. More names from the silent centuries — names without stories in any known source. The Zadok here is not the famous priest of David's court; the Achim and Eliud are not known from other texts. They are the anonymous faithful who carried the covenant line through generations that left no record beyond the genealogy itself. Their obscurity is itself a statement about how God works: the most important lineage in history passed through people whose names were unknown to anyone but their families and their God.
