(1 Samuel 14:50)
2. The son and successor of Zadok in the office of high priest
(1 Chronicles 6:8,53) On the occasion of the revolt of Absalom he
remained faithful to David, and was of service to him in
conveying to him tidings of the proceedings of Absalom in
Jerusalem
(2 Samuel 15:24-37; 17:15-21) He was swift of foot, and
was the first to carry to David tidings of the defeat of
Absalom, although he refrained, from delicacy of feeling, from
telling him of his death
(2 Samuel 18:19-33)
