Zadok

From BibleWiki

Meaning: righteous.

1. A son of Ahitub, of the line of Eleazer (2 Sam 8:17; 1Chr 24:3), high priest in the time of David (2 Sam 20:25) and Solomon (1 Kg 4:4). He is first mentioned as coming to take part with David at Hebron (1Chr 12:27f). He was probably on this account made ruler over the Aaronites (1Chr 27:17). Zadok and Abiathar acted as high priests on several important occasions (1Chr 15:11; 2 Sam 15:24ff); but when Adonijah endeavoured to secure the throne, Abiathar went with him, and therefore Solomon "thrust him out from being high priest," and Zadok, remaining faithful to David, became high priest alone (1 Kg 2:27ff; 1Chr 29:22). In him the line of Phinehas resumed the dignity, and held it till the fall of Jerusalem. He was succeeded in his sacred office by his son Azariah (1 Kg 4:2; comp. 1Chr 6:3ff).
2. The father of Jerusha, who was wife of King Uzziah, and mother of King Jotham (2Kg 15:33; 2Chr 27:1).
3. "The scribe" set over the treasuries of the temple by Nehemiah along with a priest and a Levite (Neh 13:13).
4. The sons of Baana, one of those who assisted in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem (Neh 3:4).
