Ahimelech
Years: 1056 BC – 1015 BC
The son of Abiathar, and high priest in the time of David ([1 Chr. 18:16](/1chr#1Chr.18.16)). In the parallel passage, [2 Sam. 8:17](/2sam#2Sam.8.17), we have the name Ahimelech, and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech. This most authorities consider the more correct reading.
