Abiathar Name Details
Abiathar is a Hebrew name with significant biblical importance. In the Old Testament, Abiathar was a high priest during King David's reign and the sole survivor of Saul's massacre of the priests at Nob. He remained loyal to David throughout his reign but later supported Adonijah's claim to the throne instead of Solomon, resulting in his removal from the priesthood. The name appears in the New Testament as well, where Jesus references 'Abiathar the high priest' in Mark 2:26. The name combines the Hebrew elements 'av' (father) and 'yatar' (to remain, to be preeminent), reflecting its meaning of paternal excellence or abundance.
