The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in Yahweh’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation; but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you;’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.” The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

11. Zadok and Abiathar] This double priesthood (2Sa_8:17; 2Sa_15:29; 2Sa_15:35; 2Sa_19:11; 2Sa_20:25) came to an end in the reign of Solomon (1Ki_2:27; 1Ki_2:35). Zadok is always mentioned first as being descended from Eleazar the third son of Aaron, while Ithamar from whom Abiathar (Ahimelech) was descended through Eli (1Ki_2:27) was the fourth son (1Ch_24:1; 1Ch_24:3). In two of the passages quoted in this note Abiathar (probably being confused with his father) is called Ahimelech or Abimelech (2Sa_8:17 = 1Ch_18:16; 1Ch_24:3). Conversely in Mar_2:26 Ahimelech is called Abiathar. In the Chronicler’s list of highpriests (1Ch_6:4-14) Zadok alone is mentioned, the line of Eleazar alone being given. Cp. Kirkpatrick on 2 Samuel 6 (Prefatory Note); and on ib. 2Sa_8:17.
the priests] Only the two chief priests are mentioned here. Other priests blew with the trumpets in front of the ark (1Ch_15:24).

(11) David’s instructions to the eight spiritual chiefs.
Zadok and Abiathar the priests were of coordinate rank, as representing the two lines of Eleazar and Ithamar. (Comp. Notes on 1Ch_6:4, sqq., and 1Ch_24:3. ) On 1Ch_15:5 the meanings of three of these names have been suggested. Of the others, Zadok imports just, perhaps equivalent to Zedekiah, Jah is just; Abiathar, the Father (i.e., God) excels; She-maiah, Jah heareth; Eliel, God (and none else) is God (i.e., Divine); Amminadab, the Clansman (i.e., the Lord) is bounteous. Thus the very names of those who conducted this great religious event expressed to themselves and others the high spiritual truths that Jehovah the Lord is righteous, the Author and Bestower of all knowledge and excellence and working power; that He alone is God; and that He hears prayers, as being a gracious Father unto all His creatures.
