Commentary on 1 Chronicles 6:12

Theological / Devotional

Ahitub begat Zadok. The exact period when these men held priestly office is not known. It was probably about the time when Jehoiada, who made Joash king (2 Chron. 23), lived. The fact that Jehoiada is not cited in the present genealogy is evidence that the names of all priests do not appear in this present list. About a century later there was another priest, presumably a high priest, whose name does not appear in the present listing, Urijah of the time of Ahaz (2 Kings 16:10-16).
