Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root words אָב (av, meaning "father") and יָתַר (yathar, meaning "to remain" or "to be left over").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is G8, Ἀβιάθαρ (Abiathar), which is used in the New Testament in Mark 2:26, where Jesus refers to the time "in the days of Abiathar the high priest" when David ate the consecrated bread. Usage: Abiathar is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a notable priest during the time of King David. Context: Abiathar was a significant priestly figure in the Old Testament, particularly during the reign of King David. He was the son of Ahimelech, the priest of Nob, who was slain by King Saul. Abiathar escaped the massacre and fled to David, bringing with him the ephod, which was used for priestly divination (1 Samuel 22:20-23). He served as a high priest alongside Zadok during David's reign and was loyal to David during Absalom's rebellion (2 Samuel 15:24-29). However, Abiathar later supported Adonijah's claim to the throne against Solomon, which led to his removal from the priesthood by Solomon (1 Kings 1:7, 1 Kings 2:26-27). This fulfilled the prophecy against the house of Eli, to which Abiathar belonged (1 Samuel 2:30-35). Abiathar's life and service are emblematic of loyalty, priestly duty, and the complex political dynamics of David's kingdom.
