2 Samuel 15:24

Verse 24

24. Zadok See 2 Samuel 8:17, and note on 2 Samuel 6:17.

Bearing the ark They felt it would not do to let this holy shrine fall into the hands of the conspirators.

Abiathar went up Went up the ascent of Mount Olivet, leading a vast concourse of the people, until, from its side or summit, he saw the end of the procession outside the city. Here we see that Zadok and Abiathar, though at the head of different establishments, were sometimes together, and acted conjointly in the priesthood. On this occasion it seems that Zadok accompanied the ark, and remained by it while it rested in the Kidron valley, while Abiathar marched on at the head of the procession of people.
