Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Zadok, a youth, i.e., then still a youth, may be the same who was made high priest in place of Abiathar (1-Kings 2:26, but see on 1-Kings 6:8). "And his father's-house, twenty-two princes." The father's-house of Zadok is the Aaronite family descended from Eleazar, which was at that time so numerous that it could muster twenty-two שׂרים, family chiefs, who went with Zadok to Hebron.
