Career

The Bible says little about the career of Ahimaaz, except that he served King David as an administrative priest and as a spy against David's rebellious son Absalom. (2_Samuel 17:25 ) The Chronicler documents his lineage from Eleazar. (1_Chronicles 6:4-9 ) The years of his succession to the title and his death are estimates based on the career of his son Azariah I. (1_Kings 4:2 )
