This name reflects a heritage of righteousness and integrity, which is significant in the context of the priestly lineage. Ahitub is a descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses, who was the first high priest of Israel. The mention of Ahitub here underscores the continuity of the priestly line, which was crucial for maintaining the religious and spiritual leadership of Israel. Historically, the priesthood was central to the life of the Israelites, serving as mediators between God and His people, and Ahitub's place in this lineage highlights the importance of family and heritage in fulfilling God's covenant promises.<p><b>was the father of</b><br />This phrase indicates the genealogical relationship and the passing down of roles and responsibilities from one generation to the next. In the context of the priestly line, being a father is not just a biological role but also a spiritual and vocational one. The father-son relationship in the Bible often symbolizes the transmission of faith, values, and divine calling. This generational continuity is vital for the preservation of God's laws and the spiritual health of the nation. It also reflects the biblical principle of legacy, where the faithfulness of one generation impacts the next.<p><b>Zadok</b><br />The name "Zadok" means "righteous" or "just" in Hebrew. Zadok is a significant figure in the history of Israel, known for his loyalty to King David during Absalom's rebellion and later serving as a high priest during Solomon's reign. His righteousness and faithfulness are emblematic of the ideal qualities expected of a priest. Zadok's role in the establishment of Solomon's temple and his unwavering support for God's anointed king highlight the importance of steadfastness and integrity in leadership. Archaeological findings, such as ancient inscriptions and temple records, affirm the historical presence of Zadok's priestly line, which continued to serve in the temple for generations. This continuity underscores God's faithfulness in preserving His chosen leaders to guide His people.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Meraioth</span><br /><span class="heb">מְרָי֥וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(mə·rā·yō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4812.htm">Strong's 4812: </a> </span><span class="str2">Meraioth -- descendant of Aaron, also a priestly family</span><br /><br /><span class="word">his son,</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּנ֛וֹ</span> <span class="translit">(bə·nōw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Amariah</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲמַרְיָ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·mar·yāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_568.htm">Strong's 568: </a> </span><span class="str2">Amariah -- 'Yah has promised', the name of several Israelites</span><br /><br /><span class="word">his son,</span><br /><span class="heb">בְנ֖וֹ</span> <span class="translit">(ḇə·nōw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Ahitub</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲחִיט֥וּב</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·ḥî·ṭūḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_285.htm">Strong's 285: </a> </span><span class="str2">Ahitub -- 'my brother is goodness', two Israelites</span><br /><br /><span class="word">his son,</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּנֽוֹ׃</span> <span class="translit">(bə·nōw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">1 Chronicles 6:52 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/1_chronicles/6-52.htm">OT History: 1 Chronicles 6:52 Meraioth his son Amariah his son Ahitub (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_chronicles/6-51.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Chronicles 6:51"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 6:51" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_chronicles/6-53.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Chronicles 6:53"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 6:53" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
