Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites - Abiathar was then high priest, and Jehoiada captain over the warriors of the house of Aaron.

And Jehoiada [was] the leader of the (i) Aaronites, and with him [were] three thousand and seven hundred;
(i) Of the Levites who came by the descent of Aaron.

Jehoiada, the leader of the Aaronites--not the high priest, for that was Abiathar (1-Samuel 23:9), but the leader of the Aaronite warriors, supposed to be the father of Benaiah (1-Chronicles 11:22).

Jehoida - Not the high - priest, for that was Abiathar, 1-Samuel 23:6, but one of eminent place under him.
