About Zadok (Nehemiah 13:13)
Common OT name meaning “righteous one.”
1. David’s priest, probably the most famous and influential of Israel’s high priests apart from Aaron. He first appeared at the time of Absalom’s revolt, when he and his fellow priest Abiathar showed their loyalty to David by coming to him with the ark, fully prepared to share his exile (2 Sm 15:24–29). David refused their offer and sent them back to Jerusalem to act in his interests.
