1 Chronicles 24:3

1 Chronicles 24:3 -

The Hebrew of this verse reads , And David divided them, and Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimalech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices ( לַכְסֻדָּתָם ), in their service ( בַּעְבֹדָתָם ). And the evident purport of it is that the three, David, Zadok, and Ahimelech, conjointly made the arrangements. This is virtually repeated in 1 Chronicles 24:6 , 1 Chronicles 24:31 (see also 1 Chronicles 25:1 for an analogous case). For the "Ahimelech" of this verse and 1 Chronicles 24:6 , 1 Chronicles 24:31 , should be read "Abiathar," as shown in 1 Chronicles 18:16 , by comparison of 1 Samuel 22:20 ; 2 Samuel 20:25 ; 1 Kings 1:7 , 1 Kings 1:8 ; Mark 2:26 .
