Albert Barnes Commentary 1 Kings 2:26

"And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted." — 1 Kings 2:26 (ASV)

For Anathoth and the allusions in this verse, see the marginal reference.
