But Abiathar, one of Ahimelech's sons, escaped, and went and joined David.

David said to him, "When I saw Doeg there that day, I knew that he would be sure to tell Saul. So I am responsible for the death of all your relatives.

When Abiathar son of Ahimelech escaped and joined David in Keilah, he took the ephod with him.

When David heard that Saul was planning to attack him, he said to the priest Abiathar, "Bring the ephod here."

Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the court secretary;

Zadok the priest was there, and with him were the Levites, carrying the sacred Covenant Box. They set it down and didn't pick it up again until all the people had left the city. The priest Abiathar was there too.

So Zadok and Abiathar took the Covenant Box back into Jerusalem and stayed there.

The priests Zadok and Abiathar will be there; tell them everything you hear in the king's palace.

Sheva was the court secretary; Zadok and Abiathar were the priests,

He talked with Joab (whose mother was Zeruiah) and with Abiathar the priest, and they agreed to support his cause.

"Why do you ask me to give Abishag to him?" the king asked. "You might as well ask me to give him the throne too. After all, he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab are on his side!"

Then King Solomon said to Abiathar the priest, "Go to your country home in Anathoth. You deserve to die, but I will not have you put to death now, for you were in charge of the LORD's Covenant Box while you were with my father David, and you shared in all his troubles."

Then Solomon dismissed Abiathar from serving as a priest of the LORD, and so made come true what the LORD had said in Shiloh about the priest Eli and his descendants.

Commander of the army: Benaiah son of Jehoiada Priests: Zadok and Abiathar

At the entrance of the Tent of my presence they are to eat it along with the bread left in the basket.

They shall eat what was used in the ritual of forgiveness at their ordination. Only priests may eat this food, because it is sacred.

Take twenty-four pounds of flour and bake twelve loaves of bread.

Put some pure incense on each row, as a token food offering to the LORD to take the place of the bread.

The bread belongs to Aaron and his descendants, and they shall eat it in a holy place, because this is a very holy part of the food offered to the LORD for the priests.
