Subjects in this Topic:
AHIMELECH.—1. Son of Ahitub, and grandson of Phinehas. He either succeeded his brother Ahijah in the priesthood, or more probably was the same person under another name (1Sa_14:3; 1Sa_14:18). For his fate see Doeo. In 2Sa_8:17 and 1Ch_18:16; 1Ch_24:6 the names of Abiathar and Ahimelech have been transposed. 2. A Hittite, who joined David when a fugitive (1Sa_26:6).
