1. Abiathar, as it seems, had no right to the Priesthood: for it did, by right, belong to another Line. For *Abiathar was of the line of Eli, who it is not known how he came to the Priesthood: Whereas Zadok (put in in his room) was the son of Phinehas, and heir in a direct line to Aaron, and so seems to have the right of Priesthood belonging to him, both by lineal descent, being the proper heir to it, and also by God's special Promise.
- *1 King. 2, 27. see Zadok his pedigree and heirship, 1 Chron. 6. 3. &c. the Promise to Phinehas. Num. 25. 13. and consult the English Annotations on 1 King. 1. 26, 27.
2. Abiathar was put out by two Princes, who were 1inspired by God, (and who knows but they may do it by extraordinary direction?) by David, who anointed Zadok Priest in his room, while he was yet living; and also by Solomon, ratifying his Fathers Act.
