2 Samuel 8:17 וְצָד֧וֹק and Zadok

Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;

2 Samuel 15:24 צָד֜וֹק Zadok

Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until all the people had passed out of the city.

2 Samuel 15:25 לְצָד֔וֹק to Zadok

Then the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again.

2 Samuel 15:27 צָד֣וֹק Zadok

The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan.

2 Samuel 15:29 צָד֧וֹק Zadok

So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and stayed there.

2 Samuel 15:35 צָד֥וֹק לְצָד֥וֹק [are] Zadok, to Zadok

Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear from the king’s palace.

2 Samuel 15:36 לְצָד֔וֹק of Zadok

Indeed, their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with everything you hear.”

2 Samuel 17:15 צָד֤וֹק Zadok

So Hushai told Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, “This is what Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, and this is what I have advised.

2 Samuel 18:19 צָדוֹק֙ Zadok

Then Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and tell the king the good news that the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.”

2 Samuel 18:22 צָדוֹק֙ Zadok

Ahimaaz son of Zadok, however, persisted and said to Joab, “No matter what, please let me also run behind the Cushite!” “My son,” Joab replied, “why do you want to run, since you will not receive a reward?”

2 Samuel 18:27 צָד֑וֹק Zadok

The watchman said, “The first man appears to me to be running like Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” “This is a good man,” said the king. “He comes with good news.”

2 Samuel 19:11 צָד֨וֹק Zadok

Then King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Say to the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to restore the king to his palace, since the talk of all Israel has reached the king at his quarters?

2 Samuel 20:25 וְצָד֥וֹק and Zadok

Sheva was the scribe; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

1 Kings 1:8 וְצָד֣וֹק and Zadok

But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s mighty men would not join Adonijah.

1 Kings 1:26 וּלְצָדֹ֨ק and <to> Zadok

But me your servant he has not invited, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.

Here: Second name on the 'not invited' list. Zadok was one of David's two chief priests and the counterpart of Abiathar, who did attend Adonijah's feast (v. 25).

1 Kings 1:32 לְצָד֤וֹק <to> Zadok

Then King David said, “Call in for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.

1 Kings 1:34 צָד֨וֹק Zadok

There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’

Here: One of David's two chief priests. The other, Abiathar, had sided with Adonijah (v. 7). Choosing Zadok decides which priestly house will serve the new king.

1 Kings 1:38 צָד֣וֹק Zadok

Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomon on King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.

1 Kings 1:39 צָד֨וֹק Zadok

Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the ram’s horn, and all the people proclaimed, “Long live King Solomon!”

Here: One of David's two leading priests (2 Samuel 8:17; 20:25). The other, Abiathar, had backed the rival claimant Adonijah (1:7), so Zadok acting here also marks which priestly house is on the winning side. The name comes from the root for being right or just.

1 Kings 1:44 צָד֨וֹק Zadok

And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s mule.

Here: One of David's two leading priests (see 2 Samuel 8:17; 15:24-29). The other, Abiathar, had backed Adonijah (1 Kings 1:7). Jonathan is Abiathar's son, so he is telling Adonijah's party that the rival priest has won.

1 Kings 1:45 צָד֣וֹק Zadok

Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.

1 Kings 2:35 צָד֤וֹק Zadok

And the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab’s place over the army, and he appointed Zadok the priest in Abiathar’s place.

Here: One of David's two chief priests (2 Sam 8:17; 15:24–29; 20:25), who anointed Solomon king (1 Kgs 1:39). His line would hold the Jerusalem high priesthood for centuries.

1 Kings 4:2 צָד֖וֹק Zadok

and these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest;

1 Kings 4:4 וְצָד֥וֹק and Zadok

Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

2 Kings 15:33 צָדֽוֹק׃ Zadok

He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok.

1 Chronicles 6:8 צָד֔וֹק וְצָד֖וֹק Zadok, and Zadok

Ahitub was the father of Zadok, Zadok was the father of Ahimaaz,

1 Chronicles 6:12 צָד֔וֹק וְצָד֖וֹק Zadok, and Zadok

Ahitub was the father of Zadok, Zadok was the father of Shallum,

1 Chronicles 6:53 צָד֥וֹק Zadok

Zadok his son, and Ahimaaz his son.

1 Chronicles 9:11 צָד֗וֹק Zadok

Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the chief official of God’s temple;

Here: 'Righteous, in the right.' The name carries the claim of the whole line. Zadok was David's and Solomon's priest (1 Kings 1-2), and descent from him was the mark of a legitimate high-priestly family (compare Ezekiel 44:15). The Zadok named here is probably a later bearer of the name, since in 1 Chronicles 6 there are two Ahitub–Zadok pairs.

1 Chronicles 12:28 וְצָד֥וֹק and Zadok

and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.

1 Chronicles 15:11 לְצָד֥וֹק <to> Zadok

David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

Here: Zadok, one of David's two chief priests. His name comes from the root for 'right, just'. Chronicles traces him to Aaron through Eleazar (1 Chr 6:3–8), and his line became the leading priestly house of later Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 16:39 צָד֣וֹק Zadok

And David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place in Gibeon

1 Chronicles 18:16 וְצָד֧וֹק and Zadok

Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;

1 Chronicles 24:3 וְצָדוֹק֙ and Zadok

With the help of Eleazar’s descendant Zadok and Ithamar’s descendant Ahimelech, David divided them according to the offices of their service.

1 Chronicles 24:6 וְצָד֣וֹק and Zadok

The scribe, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officers: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar, and then one from Ithamar.

1 Chronicles 24:31 וְצָד֣וֹק and Zadok

As their brothers the descendants of Aaron did, they also cast lots in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites—the family heads and their younger brothers alike.

1 Chronicles 27:17 צָדֽוֹק׃ ס Zadok

over Levi was Hashabiah son of Kemuel; over Aaron was Zadok;

1 Chronicles 29:22 וּלְצָד֖וֹק and <to> Zadok

That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest.

Here: 'And Zadok.' Zadok was already serving as a priest (1 Chr 16:39). Here he is installed in the leading priestly position alongside the new king.

2 Chronicles 27:1 צָדֽוֹק׃ Zadok

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

2 Chronicles 31:10 צָד֑וֹק Zadok

and Azariah, the chief priest of the household of Zadok, answered him, “Since the people began to bring their contributions into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and there is plenty left over, because the LORD has blessed His people; this great abundance is what is left over.”

Here: Zadok was David's and Solomon's priest (1 Kgs 1–2). Saying Azariah descends from him marks him as the legitimate senior priest, a lineage Chronicles cares a great deal about.

Ezra 7:2 צָד֖וֹק Zadok

the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,

Nehemiah 3:4 צָד֖וֹק Zadok

Next to them, Meremoth son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, made repairs. Next to him, Meshullam son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel, made repairs; and next to him, Zadok son of Baana made repairs as well.

Nehemiah 3:29 צָד֥וֹק Zadok

Next to them, Zadok son of Immer made repairs opposite his house, and next to him, Shemaiah son of Shecaniah, the guard of the East Gate, made repairs.

Nehemiah 10:21 צָד֖וֹק Zadok

Meshezabel, Zadok, Jaddua,

Nehemiah 11:11 צָד֗וֹק Zadok

Seraiah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the chief official of the house of God;

Nehemiah 13:13 וְצָד֣וֹק and Zadok

I appointed as treasurers over the storerooms Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, with Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, to assist them, because they were considered trustworthy. They were responsible for distributing the supplies to their fellow Levites.

Ezekiel 40:46 צָד֗וֹק Zadok

and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”

Ezekiel 43:19 צָד֜וֹק Zadok

You are to give a young bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are of the family of Zadok, who approach Me to minister before Me, declares the Lord GOD.

Here: Zadok was David's priest, and Solomon made him chief priest in Jerusalem (1 Kings 2:35). His descendants ran the Jerusalem temple down to the exile. In Ezekiel only his line may serve at the altar (40:46; 44:15).

Ezekiel 44:15 צָד֗וֹק Zadok

But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.

Here: David's and Solomon's priest, whose line ran the Jerusalem temple for centuries (1 Kgs 2:35). The name comes from the root for 'right' or 'just', but the verse does not play on it.

Ezekiel 48:11 צָד֔וֹק Zadok

It will be for the consecrated priests, the descendants of Zadok, who kept My charge and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.
