New Defender's Study Bible Notes

16:39 that was at Gibeon. For a considerable time, the Mosaic tabernacle had been at Gibeon, with Zadok (in the line of Eleazar, Aaron’s son) serving as priest. When David built a tabernacle at Jerusalem and brought the ark there, Abiathar (descended from Aaron’s other son, Ithamar) officiated as priest there. This double arrangement apparently continued until the Solomonic temple was complete, at which time Zadok and his line were made high priests (I Kings 2:35).
