1Ki 2:26-27 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for 1Kgs 2:26-35: 2:26-35 Solomon presumed that Adonijah’s chief supporters, Abiathar and Joab , remained involved in Adonijah ’s schemes, so Solomon dealt with them as well. Summary for 1Kgs 2:26-27: 2:26-27 Abiathar had treasonously supported Adonijah (1:7 , 25 ). But he was deposed rather than killed because he had carried the Ark (2 Sam 15:24 , 29 , 35 ), had supported David, and had shared all his hardships . Abiathar’s removal from the priesthood fulfilled the Lord’s word about the house of Eli in Ithamar’s line (1 Sam 2:30-35 ).

Summary for 1Kgs 2:26-35: 2:26-35 ^a Solomon presumed that Adonijah’s chief supporters, Abiathar and Joab, remained involved in Adonijah’s schemes, so Solomon dealt with them as well.
Summary for 1Kgs 2:26-27: 2:26-27 ^b Abiathar had treasonously supported Adonijah (1:7 ^c, 25 ^d). But he was deposed rather than killed because he had carried the Ark (2 Sam 15:24 ^e, 29 ^f, 35 ^g), had supported David, and had shared all his hardships. Abiathar’s removal from the priesthood fulfilled the Lord’s word about the house of Eli in Ithamar’s line (1 Sam 2:30-35 ^h). Zadok’s appointment (1 Kgs 4:2 ⁱ) returned the high priesthood to Eleazar’s line as it had been before Eli (Num 20:22-28 ^j; 25:11-13 ^k; 2 Sam 8:17 ^l; 1 Chr 6:1-8 ^m, 50-53 ⁿ; Ezra 7:2-5 ^o) and as it continued throughout the divided monarchy (2 Chr 31:10 ^p; Ezek 43:19 ^q).
