    Description

    Who was Zadok?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Zadok was a significant figure in the history of Israel, serving as a high priest during the reigns of King David and King Solomon. He first appears in the biblical narrative as one of the two priests mentioned alongside Ahimelech during David's reign. Zadok remained loyal to David during the rebellion of Absalom, and he played a key role in anointing Solomon as king. After Solomon's accession to the throne, Zadok was appointed as the sole high priest, replacing Abiathar. Zadok's descendants continued to serve as high priests in the temple in Jerusalem, and they are mentioned in the visions of Ezekiel regarding the future restoration of the temple and its services. The "sons of Zadok" are described as faithful priests who will serve in the restored temple. Zadok's lineage and role emphasize the importance of the priesthood in maintaining the worship of God and the spiritual leadership of the nation.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Zadok10 of 21 entities the graph connects to Zadok, in 3 groups: kinship 1, company 1, events 8. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.EleazarDescendant of · 61 versesKinshipDavid’s division of Descendants Of Aaron, Eleazar Descendants, and Ithamar DescendantsTook part in · 15 versesCompanyIsrael1 event · 2,578 versesDavid7 events · 964 versesJerusalem2 events · 888 versesSolomon6 events · 272 versesNathan8 events · 30 versesAbiathar10 events · 29 versesAdonijah2 events · 24 versesBenaiah6 events · 23 versesEventsZadok
