The form is tagged as a proper noun in each occurrence. In 1 Chronicles 15:21 the APB renders Azaziah among those assigned to play lyres and lead; in 1 Chronicles 27:20 it identifies the father of Hoshea; and in 2 Chronicles 31:13 it appears in a list of overseers.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form as “Azaziah” in all three verses: in a musicians' list, a paternal identification, and a list of overseers. The verse is read as a whole, though these list contexts make the personal-name use clear.
