Adam Clarke
A faithful priest - This seems to have been spoken of Zadok, who was anointed high priest in the room of Abiathar, the last descendant of the house of Eli; see I Kings 2:26, I Kings 2:27. Abiathar was removed because he had joined with Adonijah, who had got himself proclaimed king; see I Kings 1:7.
I will build him a sure house - I will continue the priesthood in his family.
He shall walk before mine Anointed - He shall minister before Solomon, and the kings which shall reign in the land. The Targum says, "He shall walk kodam Meshichi , before my Messiah," and the Septuagint expresses it, , "before my Christ;" for, in their proper and more extended sense, these things are supposed to belong to our great High Priest and the Christian system: but the word may refer to the Israelitish people. See the note on Hebrews 9:26.
