Zadok

⁸ Ahitub was the father of Zadok, Zadok was the father of Ahimaaz,

⁹ Ahimaaz was the father of Azariah, Azariah was the father of Johanan,

Zadok his son, and Ahimaaz his son.

²⁶ From Levi: 4,600,

²⁷ including Jehoiada, leader of the house of Aaron, with 3,700 men,

²⁸ and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.

David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

And David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place in Gibeon

¹⁶ Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;

¹⁷ Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.

With the help of Eleazar’s descendant Zadok and Ithamar’s descendant Ahimelech, David divided them according to the offices of their service.

The scribe, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officers: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar, and then one from Ithamar.

As their brothers the descendants of Aaron did, they also cast lots in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites—the family heads and their younger brothers alike.

¹⁶ These officers were in charge of the tribes of Israel: Over the Reubenites was Eliezer son of Zichri; over the Simeonites was Shephatiah son of Maacah;

¹⁷ over Levi was Hashabiah son of Kemuel; over Aaron was Zadok;

¹⁸ over Judah was Elihu, one of David’s brothers; over Issachar was Omri son of Michael;
