Person

Zadok (father of Azariah)

사독 (아사리아의 아버지)

Named at 1 Kings 4:2 as the father of Azariah: “These were the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest”. The verse gives him no office. This collection keeps him apart from the Zadok of 4:4, “Zadok and Abiathar were priests”, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

Unresolved interpretation: The priests named at 1 Kings 4:2–4

  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.
