STEPBible TIPNR
Zadok is mentioned as the father of Jerusha, who was the wife of King Uzziah (also known as Azariah) of Judah. Jerusha's mother is not named in the biblical text. Zadok's daughter, Jerusha, became queen when she married Uzziah, and their son, Jotham, succeeded Uzziah as king. The mention of Zadok in this context provides information about the royal family of Judah during Uzziah's reign.
