Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

There is some difficulty in understanding how Zadok and Abiathar came to be both “priests” at this time, and in what relation they stood to one another. The best explanation seems to be that Abiathar was the real high priest, and officiated at the sanctuary containing the ark of the covenant in Zion, while Zadok performed the offices of chief priest at the tabernacle of Witness at Gibeon 1Ch 16:39. For Benaiah, see 2Sa 8:18; 2Sa 20:23; 2Sa 23:20-21. For Nathan, see 2Sa 7:2-3, 2Sa 7:17; 2Sa 12:1-15, 2Sa 12:
