Azzur, meaning 'helped' or 'helper,' appears as the name of three individuals in Scripture. Most notably, Azzur was the father of Hananiah, the false prophet who opposed Jeremiah in Jerusalem, declaring the Babylonian yoke would be broken within two years—a prophecy Jeremiah condemned as lies. Another Azzur appears in Ezekiel 11:1 among the wicked leaders giving evil counsel in Jerusalem. A third Azzur was a chief among the people who sealed Nehemiah's covenant renewal. The name's irony is sharp: 'Helped,' yet associated with false prophecy and wicked counsel, shows that human help apart from divine truth leads astray.
