Abiathar, son of Ahimelech, was a high priest who served during the reigns of David and Solomon.
- A High Priest living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Sa.22.20;
- referred to as Abiathar אֶבְיָתָר, or Abiathar Ἀβιαθάρ;
- a son of Ahimelech אֲחִימֶלֶךְ;
- father of Ahimelech אֲחִימֶלֶךְ, Jonathan יְהוֹנָתָן.
Abiathar was the son of Ahimelech, a priest at Nob. When King Saul ordered the execution of the priests at Nob, Abiathar was the only one who escaped and fled to David (1 Samuel 22:20-23). He brought with him the ephod, a sacred priestly garment used for seeking God's will (1 Samuel 23:6,9). Abiathar remained loyal to David throughout his reign, serving as one of his chief priests (2 Samuel 8:17; 15:24-36; 19:11; 20:25). However, near the end of David's life, Abiathar supported Adonijah's attempt to become king instead of Solomon (1 Kings 1:7,19,25). When Solomon became king, he removed Abiathar from the priesthood, fulfilling the prophecy against the house of Eli (1 Kings 2:26-27,35). Abiathar is also mentioned in the New Testament by Jesus, who referred to an incident during Abiathar's time as high priest (Mark 2:26).
