ABIATHAR (Heb. Ebyathar, "the [divine] father is pre-eminent")

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 62 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABIATHAR (Heb. Ebyathar, "the [divine] father is pre-eminent") , in the Bible, son of Ahimelech or Ahijah, priest at Nob. The only one of the priests to escape from
Saul
 's massacre, he fled to
David
  at Keilah, taking with him the
ephod
  (I Sam. xxii. 20 f., xxiii. 6, 9). He was of
great
  service to
David
 , especially at the
time
  of the rebellion of
Absalom
  (2 Sam. xv. 24, 29, 35, xx. 25). In r
Kings
  iv. .4 Zadok and Abiathar are found acting together as priests under Solomon. In I
Kings
  i. 7, 19, 25, however, Abiathar appears as a supporter of
Adonijah
 , and in ii. 22 and 26 it is said that he was deposed by Solomon and banished to Anathoth. In 2 Sam. viii. 17 "Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech" should be read, with the Syriac, for "Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar." For a similar confusion see Mark ii. 26.
