Zadok
A faithful high priest during the reigns of David and Solomon who descended from Eleazar, son of Aaron.
Zadok served as a prominent priest who remained loyal to King David during Absalom's rebellion and later anointed Solomon as king. His lineage became the standard for the legitimate priesthood, and he is referenced in Ezekiel's vision of a future temple. While other individuals share the name in later genealogies, this Zadok is defined by his steadfast service to the Davidic throne.
