Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Zadok is meant rather than Samuel. The High Priesthood continued in the direct descendants of Zadok as long as the monarchy lasted (see Ch1 6:8-15).
Mine anointed - in its first sense obviously means the kings of Israel and Judah Psa 89:20; Zac 4:14. But doubtless the use of the term MESSIAH (Χριστὸς Christos) here and in Sa1 2:10, is significant, and points to the Lord's Christ, in whom the royal and priestly offices are united (Zac 6:11-15 : see the marginal references). In this connection the substitution of the priesthood after the order of Melchisedec for the Levitical may be foreshadowed under Sa1 2:35 (see Heb. 7). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Raise a priest - Of another line, as it necessarily implied by the total removal of that office from Eli's line. The person designed is Zadok, one eminent for his faithfulness to God, and to the king, who, when Abiather, the last of Eli's line, was deposed by Solomon, was made high - priest in his stead. Build, &c.- That is, give him a numerous posterity, and confirm that sure covenant of an everlasting priesthood made to Phinehas, of Eleazar's line, Num 25:13, and interrupted for a little while by Eli, of the line of Ithamar, unto him and his children for ever. Anointed - Before Jesus Christ, who is the main scope and design, not only of the New, but of the Old Testament, which in all its types and ceremonies represented him; and particularly, the high - priest was an eminent type of Christ, and represented his person, and acted in his name and stead, and did mediately, what John Baptist did immediately, go before the face of the Lord Christ; and when Christ came, that office and officer was to cease. The high - priest is seldom or never said to walk or minister before the kings of Israel or Judah, but constantly before the Lord, and consequently, before Christ, who, as he was God blessed for ever, Rom 9:5, was present with, and the builder and governor of the ancient church of Israel, and therefore the high - priest is most properly said to walk before him. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
A faithful priest - This seems to have been spoken of Zadok, who was anointed high priest in the room of Abiathar, the last descendant of the house of Eli; see Kg1 2:26, Kg1 2:27. Abiathar was removed because he had joined with Adonijah, who had got himself proclaimed king; see Kg1 1:7.
I will build him a sure house - I will continue the priesthood in his family.
He shall walk before mine Anointed - He shall minister before Solomon, and the kings which shall reign in the land. The Targum says, "He shall walk קדם משיחי kodam Meshichi, before my Messiah," and the Septuagint expresses it, ενωπιον Χριστου μον, "before my Christ;" for, in their proper and more extended sense, these things are supposed to belong to our great High Priest and the Christian system: but the word may refer to the Israelitish people. See the note on Heb 9:26. |
35 And I will raise me up [06965] a faithful [0539] priest [03548], that shall do [06213] according to that which is in mine heart [03824] and in my mind [05315]: and I will build [01129] him a sure [0539] house [01004]; and he shall walk [01980] before [06440] mine anointed [04899] for ever [03117].
11 Then take [03947] silver [03701] and gold [02091], and make [06213] crowns [05850], and set [07760] them upon the head [07218] of Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Josedech [03087], the high [01419] priest [03548];
12 And speak [0559] unto him, saying [0559], Thus speaketh [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], saying [0559], Behold the man [0376] whose name [08034] is The BRANCH [06780]; and he shall grow up [06779] out of his place, and he shall build [01129] the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]:
13 Even he shall build [01129] the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]; and he shall bear [05375] the glory [01935], and shall sit [03427] and rule [04910] upon his throne [03678]; and he shall be a priest [03548] upon his throne [03678]: and the counsel [06098] of peace [07965] shall be between them both [08147].
14 And the crowns [05850] shall be to Helem [02494], and to Tobijah [02900], and to Jedaiah [03048], and to Hen [02581] the son [01121] of Zephaniah [06846], for a memorial [02146] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068].
15 And they that are far off [07350] shall come [0935] and build [01129] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], and ye shall know [03045] that the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sent [07971] me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently [08085] obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430].
10 The adversaries [07378] of the LORD [03068] shall be broken to pieces [02865]; out of heaven [08064] shall he thunder [07481] upon them: the LORD [03068] shall judge [01777] the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]; and he shall give [05414] strength [05797] unto his king [04428], and exalt [07311] the horn [07161] of his anointed [04899].
14 Then said [0559] he, These are the two [08147] anointed [03323] ones [01121], that stand [05975] by the Lord [0113] of the whole earth [0776].
20 I have found [04672] David [01732] my servant [05650]; with my holy [06944] oil [08081] have I anointed [04886] him:
8 And Ahitub [0285] begat [03205] Zadok [06659], and Zadok [06659] begat [03205] Ahimaaz [0290],
9 And Ahimaaz [0290] begat [03205] Azariah [05838], and Azariah [05838] begat [03205] Johanan [03110],
10 And Johanan [03110] begat [03205] Azariah [05838], (he it is that executed the priest's office [03547] in the temple [01004] that Solomon [08010] built [01129] in Jerusalem [03389]:)
11 And Azariah [05838] begat [03205] Amariah [0568], and Amariah [0568] begat [03205] Ahitub [0285],
12 And Ahitub [0285] begat [03205] Zadok [06659], and Zadok [06659] begat [03205] Shallum [07967],
13 And Shallum [07967] begat [03205] Hilkiah [02518], and Hilkiah [02518] begat [03205] Azariah [05838],
14 And Azariah [05838] begat [03205] Seraiah [08304], and Seraiah [08304] begat [03205] Jehozadak [03087],
15 And Jehozadak [03087] went [01980] into captivity, when the LORD [03068] carried away [01540] Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] by the hand [03027] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019].
5 Whose [3739] are the fathers [3962], and [2532] of [1537] whom [3739] as concerning [2596] the flesh [4561] Christ [5547] came, who [5607] is over [1909] all [3956], God [2316] blessed [2128] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281].
13 And he shall have it, and his seed [02233] after [0310] him, even the covenant [01285] of an everlasting [05769] priesthood [03550]; because [0834] he was zealous [07065] for his God [0430], and made an atonement [03722] for the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
26 For then [1893] must [1163] he [846] often [4178] have suffered [3958] since [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]: but [1161] now [3568] once [530] in [1909] the end [4930] of the world [165] hath he appeared [5319] to [1519] put away [115] sin [266] by [1223] the sacrifice [2378] of himself [846].
7 And he conferred [01697] with Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870], and with Abiathar [054] the priest [03548]: and they following [0310] Adonijah [0138] helped [05826] him.
27 So Solomon [08010] thrust out [01644] Abiathar [054] from being priest [03548] unto the LORD [03068]; that he might fulfil [04390] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] concerning the house [01004] of Eli [05941] in Shiloh [07887].
26 And unto Abiathar [054] the priest [03548] said [0559] the king [04428], Get [03212] thee to Anathoth [06068], unto thine own fields [07704]; for thou art worthy [0376] of death [04194]: but I will not at this time [03117] put thee to death [04191], because thou barest [05375] the ark [0727] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] before [06440] David [01732] my father [01], and because thou hast been afflicted [06031] in all wherein my father [01] was afflicted [06031].
