The sons of Zadok. — See Note on Ezekiel 40:46. They are here described as those who continued faithful in the general apostasy, and it is probable that Ezekiel uses the term in this sense. As Zadok had continued faithful in the rebellion of Adonijah, when even the high priest and life-long friend of David went astray (1 Kings 1:7), so all the faithful priests in the time of apostasy were called “sons of Zadok.”
