Commentary on 2 Samuel 15:24

Theological / Devotional

Zadok also. Zadok and Abiathar were the chief priests. When David fled, the priests planned to flee with him, taking along the ark of God. The people were happy at the presence of the ark, for they felt that this sacred symbol accompanying them would ensure the presence and blessing of God and thus would be a guarantee of ultimate victory. They were inspired with faith and courage, but the followers of Absalom, realizing that the sacred symbol was no longer with them, would be stricken with fear and terror.

Abiathar. This is the priest who later, when David was old, cast in his lot with Adonijah, helping him in his efforts to take the crown (1 Kings 1:7).
