    ²⁶To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord GOD’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.”

    ²⁷So Solomon thrust Abiathar out from being priest to the LORD, that he might fulfill the LORD’s word which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

    ²⁸This news came to Joab; for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he didn’t follow Absalom. Joab fled to the LORD’s Tent, and held onto the horns of the altar.

    ²⁹King Solomon was told, “Joab has fled to the LORD’s Tent; and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”

    ³⁰Benaiah came to the LORD’s Tent, and said to him, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “This is what Joab said, and this is how he answered me.”

    ³¹The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him, that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.

    ³²The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

    ³³So their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspring forever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from the LORD.”

    ³⁴Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell on him, and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

    ³⁵The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

1 Kings 2:26–27 says that the king thrust Abiathar out from being priest to the LORD, and 2:35 that the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar. 4:2 names Azariah the son of Zadok as the priest, and 4:4 says that Zadok and Abiathar were priests. The text does not say how 4:4 stands with 2:27 and 2:35, nor whether the Zadok of 4:2 is Zadok the priest. This collection records the Zadok of 4:2 apart, and decides neither whether the two Zadoks are one man nor how these passages fit together.

1 Chronicles 6:8 says, “Ahitub became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Ahimaaz,” and 6:12, “Ahitub became the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Shallum.” Each Zadok is the son of an Ahitub whom Amariah became the father of (6:7, 6:11); between the two, 6:8–12 name Ahimaaz, Azariah, Johanan, Azariah, Amariah and Ahitub, and 6:10–11 make Amariah the son of Azariah the son of Johanan. 6:50–53 name the sons of Aaron again, down to Ahimaaz. Ezra 7:2–3 names one Zadok in Ezra’s line, the son of Ahitub, the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth (the Korean Revised Version counts the generations from Ezra). 2 Samuel 8:17 names Zadok the son of Ahitub among the priests, and 1 Kings 4:2 “Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest”. This collection records the Zadok son of Ahitub of 2 Samuel 8:17 and of Ezra 7:2 as one entry (person-zadok-ahitub), as the Ezra block joined them by the same father and son; it links the Ahitub and Zadok of 1 Chronicles 6:7–8 and 6:52–53 to Ahitub (father of Zadok) (person-ahitub-zadok) and Zadok (son of Ahitub) (person-zadok-ahitub), records the Amariah, Ahitub and Zadok of 6:11–12 in the name list without joining them to any entry, and records the Azariah of 6:10 apart, as Azariah (son of Johanan). The text does not say whether any of them are the same men, and the collection does not decide it.
