God's Prophecy Fulfilled
Commentators highlight that Solomon's appointment of Zadok as high priest fulfilled a prophecy made 80 years earlier. Abiathar was from the priestly line of Eli, which God had promised to judge (1 Samuel 2:31–36). By replacing him with Zadok, from the alternate line of Eleazar, Solomon acted as God's instrument to demonstrate His faithfulness to His word across generations.
