8<\/strong>. But Zadok the priest<\/em> ] He was the son of Ahitub, and descended from Eleazar, the son of Aaron. He joined David after the death of Saul, and there were thus two priests, perhaps one being highpriest and the other second priest, through the whole of David’s reign. Zadok’s duties appear (1Ch 16:39<\/span>) to have been at the Tabernacle in Gibeon, and Abiathar had charge of the ark in Jerusalem. But in consequence of the events described in this chapter Abiathar was thrust out of his office and banished to Anathoth, and Zadok became the sole highpriest.<\/p>\n Benaiah the son of Jehoiada<\/em> ] This man, though of the tribe of Levi, became captain of David’s body-guard of Cherethites and Pelethites (see below on 1Ki 1:38<\/span>), and was made, when Joab was dead, commander in chief of Solomon’s army.<\/p>\n Nathan the prophet<\/em> ] He was prominent in David’s reign, giving the king advice concerning the building of the Temple, bringing God’s rebuke after David’s adultery and the message of forgiveness when he had repented. He appears also in connexion with the birth of Solomon and now as the adviser and helper of Bath-sheba. After Solomon was proclaimed king we hear no more of Nathan.<\/p>\n and Shimei<\/em> ] There is a person so called mentioned afterwards as one of the twelve officers who provided victuals for king Solomon and his household. But whether that be the Shimei here mentioned there is no means of deciding. It was conjectured by Ewald that it was another way of writing the name of Shimeah, David’s brother.<\/p>\n and Rei<\/em> ] Rei is not mentioned elsewhere, and there is nothing to guide us to any opinion concerning his identity. Several conjectures have been made, but none that deserves much attention.<\/p>\n the mighty<\/em> men which<\/em> belonged to David<\/em> ] Of these champions a list is given 2Sa 23:8-39<\/span>, with which may be compared 1Ch 11:10-47<\/span>.<\/p>\n 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<\/span>.<\/P> For Benaiah, see 2Sa 8:18<\/span>; 2Sa 20:23<\/span>; 2Sa 23:20-21<\/span>. For Nathan, see 2Sa 7:2-3<\/U><\/span>, 2Sa 7:17<\/span>; 2Sa 12:1-15<\/span>, 2Sa 12:25<\/span>. As privy to all Davids plans 1Ki 1:24<\/span>, he had no doubt fully approved the order of succession which the king was known to intend.<\/P> Shimei and Rei – <\/B>Shimei and Rei are perhaps Davids two brothers, Shimma and Raddai 1Ch 2:13-14<\/span>.<\/P> Mighty men – <\/B>Probably the company of 600, originally formed during Davids early wanderings 1Sa 25:13<\/span>; 1Sa 27:2<\/span>, and afterward maintained as the most essential element of his standing army.<\/P> <\/p>\n 1Ki 1:8<\/span><\/p>\n But Zadok the priest <\/em> . . . went not with Adonijah.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Steadfast when others falter<\/strong><\/p>\n So Cranmer and Ridley, and some few other conscientious persons, afterwards ill rewarded by Queen Mary, refused to subscribe the letters patent for Lady Jane Greys succession to the crown, after the death of King Edward VI.; which yet were subscribed by the most of the statesmen, who were guided with respect to their particular interest, for that they were possessed of divers lands which once pertained to monasteries, chanteries, etc., which they foresaw they should lose, m case religion should change under Queen Mary<\/em>.<\/em> (J.

But Zadok the priest<\/B>He hadbeen high priest in the tabernacle at Gibeon under Saul (1Ch16:39<\/span>). David, on his accession, had conjoined him and Abiatharequal in the exercise of their high functions (2Sa 8:17<\/span>;2Sa 15:24<\/span>; 2Sa 15:29<\/span>;2Sa 15:35<\/span>). But it is extremelyprobable that some cause of jealousy or discord between them hadarisen, and hence each lent his countenance and support to oppositeparties. <\/P> Benaiah<\/B>Distinguishedfor his bravery (1Sa 23:20<\/span>), hehad been appointed captain of the king’s bodyguard (2Sa 8:18<\/span>;2Sa 20:23<\/span>; 1Ch 18:17<\/span>),and was regarded by Joab as a rival. <\/P> Nathan the prophet<\/B>Hewas held in high estimation by David, and stood on the most intimaterelations with the royal family (2Sa12:25<\/span>). <\/P> Shimei<\/B>probably theperson of this name who was afterwards enrolled among Solomon’s greatofficers (1Ki 4:18<\/span>). <\/P> Rei<\/B>supposed to be thesame as Ira (2Sa 20:26<\/span>). <\/P> and the mighty men<\/B>theselect band of worthies.<\/P><\/p>\n But Zadok the priest<\/strong>,….

As a young man of valour, under Jehoiada, leader of the Aaronites, he joined David at Hebron with 3,700 men (1Ch. 12:28<\/span>), and had been left in charge of the Tabernacle at Gibeon (1Ch. 16:39<\/span>) after the removal of the Ark to Jerusalem. On his relation to Abiathar, see 1Ki. 2:35<\/span>.<\/p>\n Benaiah<\/strong>, the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest, and therefore of Levitical origin. (See 2Sa. 8:18<\/span>; 2Sa. 23:20-23<\/span>; 1Ch. 27:5-6<\/span>.) His rank is given in 2Sa. 23:23<\/span>, as intermediate between the three mighty men and the thirty, and in 1Ch. 27:5<\/span>, as the third captain of the host for the third month; but his command of the bodyguard gave him special importance, second only to that of Joab (2Sa. 20:23<\/span>), and perhaps of even greater importance for immediate action. (It is notable that there is no mention of Abishai, who is named as prior to Benaiah among the mighty men in 2Sa. 23:18-22<\/span>. It may be inferred that he was dead; otherwise he could hardly have been omitted here.)<\/p>\n Nathan the prophet<\/strong>.See 2Sa. 7:2<\/span>; 2Sa. 12:1<\/span>; 2Sa. 12:25<\/span>. In the whole chapter he appears rather as a chief officer and counsellor of David, than in the loftier aspect of the prophetic character. He was also the royal chronicler of the reigns of David and Solomon (1Ch. 29:29<\/span>; 2Ch. 9:29<\/span>).<\/p>\n Shimei, and Rei<\/strong>.Ewald conjectures that these were two brothers of David, called Shimma and Raddai in 1Ch. 2:13-14<\/span>. These, however, being older than David, would now be in extreme old age. Of Rei, we have no mention elsewhere; but there is a Shimei (in 1Ki. 4:18<\/span>), a high officer of Solomon; a Shimea, brother of Solomon (in 1Ch. 3:5<\/span>), and a Shammah, one of the mighty men (in 2Sa. 23:11<\/span>).<\/p>\n The mighty men<\/strong>.See 2Sa. 23:8-39<\/span>. The name Gibbrim<\/em> is a technical name, and is thought to designate a picked body of troops, the standing nucleus of the armies of Israel. It is commonly inferred that they were the successors of the six hundred men of Davids band during his life of wandering and exile, and that the three and the thirty (2 Samuel 23<\/span>) were their officers. They are mentioned as attached to the person of David in 2Sa. 10:7<\/span>; 2Sa. 16:6<\/span>; 2Sa. 20:7<\/span>.<\/p>\n 8<\/strong>. <\/strong> Zadok <\/strong> This priest probably still officiated at Gibeon. See note on 2Sa 6:17<\/span>; 2Sa 8:17<\/span>. <\/p>\n Shimei, and Rei <\/strong> This Shimei is perhaps the same with the one mentioned 1Ki 4:18<\/span>; but there is nothing sufficiently positive to identify either of these names with any person mentioned elsewhere. <\/p>\n Were not with Adonijah <\/strong> This statement contains a tacit intimation that these mighty men of David had been approached by Adonijah, or by some of his abettors, and solicited to join the party, and help carry out the treasonable projects of that aspiring youth.<\/p>\n 1Ki 1:8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which [belonged] to David, were not with Adonijah.<\/p>\n Ver. 8. But Zadok the priest.<\/strong> ] So Cranmer and Ridley, and some few other conscientious persons, afterwards ill rewarded by Queen Mary, refused to subscribe the letters patent for Lady Jane Gray’s succession to the crown, after the death of King Edward VI; which yet were subscribed by the most of the statesmen, who were guided with respect to their particular interest, for that they were possessed of various lands which once pertained to monasteries, chanteries, &c., which they foresaw they should lose, in case religion should change under Queen Mary.<\/p>\n mighty men.

The mighty men were not with Adonijah That is, those named 2 Samuel 23., and the guards, who had served under David so long, and had done such mighty acts in his reign and under his conduct. Adonijah had no hope of drawing them to his party, and therefore did not confer with them as he did with Joab and Abiathar. And called all his brethren and all the men of Judah Except those mentioned 1Ki 1:8, and again excepted, 1Ki 1:10. But all the rest of the family of David, and the principal persons of the tribe of Judah, with the high-priest and captain of the host, being present, there seemed to be nothing wanting to the making of him king, but only his anointing. For this appears to have been a federal feast, in which they swore allegiance to Adonijah.
