| | Abiathar: People of the Bible |
 | | Abiathar was the only one of all the sons of Ahimelech, the high priest, who escaped the slaughter inflicted upon his father's house by Saul. |
 | | Abiathar, having become high priest, fled to David, and was thus enabled to inquire of the Lord for him (1 Samuel 23:9; 30:7; 2 Samuel 2:1; 5:19), etc. Abiathar on his part was firmly attached to David. |
 | | For this, Abiathar was banished to his native village, Anathoth, in the tribe of Benjamin (Joshua 21:18), and narrowly escaped with his life, which was spared by Solomon only on the strength of his long and faithful service to David his father. |
