Mark 2:26

The days of Abiathar the high priest - It appears from I Samuel 21:1, which is the place referred to here, that Ahimelech was then high priest at Nob: and from I Samuel 22:20; I Samuel 23:6, and I Chronicles 18:16, it appears that Abiathar was the son of Ahimelech. The Persic reads Abimelech instead of Abiathar. Theophylact supposes that Abiathar was the priest, and Ahimelech or Abimelech the high priest, and thus endeavors to reconcile both the sacred historians. Others reconcile the accounts thus: Ahimelech was called Ahimelech Abiathar, ab , father, understood; and Abiathar was called Abiathar Ahimelech, ben , son, understood. Probably they both officiated in the high priesthood; and the name of the office was indifferently applied to either.

Shew-bread - See Matthew 12:4.
