Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Ezekiel 40:46

These are the sons of Zadok— The high priest-hood belonged to the eldest sons of the house of Aaron; so that the office originally appertained to the family of Zadok; though that of Ithamar exercised it for some time; from Eli, who was high-priest in the time of Samuel, to Abiathar, whom Solomon dispossessed, and restored the high priesthood to the former line by placing Zadok in his room. The family of Zadok alone is mentioned in this vision, probably because they continued attached to the worship of the true God, when the priests of Ithamar's line forsook it, and fell into idolatry. See chap. Ezekiel 43:19 Ezekiel 44:15 Ezekiel 48:11.
