1 Kings 2:35

Verse 35

35. Zadok the priest… in the room of Abiathar Thus was fulfilled another part of the prophecy to Eli. See 1 Samuel 2:35, and note. “The ark and tabernacle had never been united since the capture of the ark by the Philistines in the days of Eli. Hence a double exercise of priestly functions in two different places ensued. Even at this time there was one altar of burnt offering at Gibeon, and another before the ark on Mount Zion. See note on 2 Samuel 6:17. But now, under Solomon, the prince of peace, the type of Christ, this confusion was about to cease, and unity of worship was to be established by the erection of the temple.” Wordsworth.
