Wesley's Notes

4:4 Priests - That is, the high - priests, successively, first Abiathar, and then Zadok.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

4. Benaiah . was over the host-formerly captain of the guard. He had succeeded Joab as commander of the forces.

Zadok and Abiathar were the priests-Only the first discharged the sacred functions; the latter had been banished to his country seat and retained nothing more than the name of high priest.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

4:1-19 In the choice of the great officers of Solomon's court, no doubt, his wisdom appeared. Several are the same that were in his father's time. A plan was settled by which no part of the country was exhausted to supply his court, though each sent its portion.


1 Kings 2:27 So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD, which He had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
1 Kings 2:35 The king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in his place, and the king appointed Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar. (NASB ©1995)
