Concise Bible Dictionary:

1. Son of Ahitub, of the house of Eleazar. He was priest in the reign of David, and though Abiathar was called high priest, at times Zadok is named before him. Abiathar was set aside by Solomon, and Zadok became high priest (2 Sam. 8:17; {vi 8414-8426}2 Sam. 15:24-36; 2 Sam. 17:15; {vi 8498-8506}2 Sam. 18:19-27; 2 Sam. 19:11; 2 Sam. 20:25; {vi 8726-8763}1 Kings 1:8-45; 1 Kings 2:35; {vi 8847;8849}1 Kings 4:2,4; {vi 10463;10508}1Chron. 6:8,53; Ezek. 40:46; Ezek. 43:19; Ezek. 44:15; Ezek. 48:11).
