Barnes' Notes
That he might fulfil the word of the L RD - We need not understand this as stating that the fulfillment of the old prophecy was Solomon' s motive, or even one of his motives. The reference is to the overruling providence of God, which thus brought about the fulfillment of the prophecy. (Compare Matthew 1:22; Matthew 2:15; Matthew 27:35, etc.) The deposition of Abiathar involved the rejection of the house of Ithamar I Chronicles 24:3, to which Eli belonged, and the reestablishment of the high priesthood in the line of Eleazar.
