Commentary on 1 Chronicles 18:16

Theological / Devotional

Zadok. For Zadok, of the line of Eleazar (chapter 6:4-8), see on 2 Samuel 8:17.

Abimelech. This should be spelled Ahimelech as in 2 Samuel 8:17. An Ahimelech is mentioned both as the father of Abiathar (1 Samuel 22:20) and as the son (1 Chronicles 24:6). Elsewhere Zadok and Abiathar are named as the priests (see 2 Samuel 15:29, 35). On the harmony of these statements see on 2 Samuel 8:17.
