1 Kings 4:2
"And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And these were the princes which he had,.... That were in office about him, in the highest posts of honour and trust: Azariah the son of Zadok the priest: or

rather his grandson, since Ahimaaz was the son of Zadok, and Azariah the son of Ahimaaz, Ch1 6:8 ; though another Zadok may be meant, and his son not a priest but a prince, as the word may be rendered, and was Solomon's prime minister of state, and the rather, since he is mentioned first.
