NASB | Mark 2:26 how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?" |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 2:26 how he went into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the sacred bread, which is not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and how he also gave it to the men who were with him?" [1 Sam 21:1-6] |
Bible Question:
In Mark 2:26, Jesus says, "while Abiathar was high priest.." Wasn't the high priest at this time Ahimelech (1 Sam. 21:1), the father of Abiathar (1 Sam. 22:20)? |
Bible Answer: Nolan, Ahimelech may of been only a priest, for the word "high" is not there (1Sa 21:1). However, from Josuha 20:6 to 2 Kings 12:10, we do not see the phrase "high priest". On the latter, it seems strange that Jehoiada is only a priest and the high priest is not named. Ahimelech may of been retired as high priest and Abiathar, the high priest was not around when David came. We know that Abiathar is the son of Ahimelech (1Sa 22:20, 23:6, 30:7). However, we see Ahimelech is the son of Abiathar (2Sa 8:17, 1Ch 24:6). Either there is another copiest error, or the son is named after his grandfather. Steve |
