Azor (Hebrew: אָזוֹר, 'helper'; Ancient Greek: Ἀζώρ, Azóres), according to a New Testament gospel narrative in Matthew 1:13 and 1:14, was an ancestor of Jesus. He is mentioned as the son of Eliakim and the great-grandson of Zerubbabel; he is the father of Zadok. By this account he is of the Davidic line.[a]
