  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Zadok 
  righteous.  (1.)  A  son  of  Ahitub,  of  the  line  of  Eleazer  (2  Sam. 
  8:17;  1  Chr.  24:3),  high  priest  in  the  time  of  David  (2  Sam. 
  20:25)  and  Solomon  (1  Kings  4:4).  He  is  first  mentioned  as 
  coming  to  take  part  with  David  at  Hebron  (1  Chr.  12:27,  28).  He 
  was  probably  on  this  account  made  ruler  over  the  Aaronites 
  (27:17).  Zadok  and  Abiathar  acted  as  high  priests  on  several 
  important  occasions  (1  Chr.  15:11;  2  Sam.  15:24-29,  35,  36);  but 
  when  Adonijah  endeavoured  to  secure  the  throne,  Abiathar  went 
  with  him  and  therefore  Solomon  "thrust  him  out  from  being  high 
  priest,"  and  Zadok,  remaining  faithful  to  David,  became  high 
  priest  alone  (1  Kings  2:27,  35;  1  Chr.  29:22).  In  him  the  line 
  of  Phinehas  resumed  the  dignity,  and  held  it  till  the  fall  of 
  Jerusalem.  He  was  succeeded  in  his  sacred  office  by  his  son 
  Azariah  (1  Kings  4:2;  comp.  1  Chr.  6:3-9). 
 
  (2.)  The  father  of  Jerusha,  who  was  wife  of  King  Uzziah,  and 
  mother  of  King  Jotham  (2  Kings  15:33;  2  Chr.  27:1). 
 
  (3.)  "The  scribe"  set  over  the  treasuries  of  the  temple  by 
  Nehemiah  along  with  a  priest  and  a  Levite  (Neh.  13:13). 
 
  (4.)  The  sons  of  Baana,  one  of  those  who  assisted  in 
  rebuilding  the  wall  of  Jerusalem  (Neh.  3:4).
