Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 12:28
[See comments on 1 Chronicles 12:23].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 12:28
And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:28
Zadok; thought to be the same who was made high priest in Solomon’ s time, ; which if true, he was very young at this time. Twenty and two captains, whom he brought along with him.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:28
1 Chronicles 12:28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father’ s house twenty and two captains.Ver. 28. And Zadok, a young man.] Some think that Saul, when he had slain Abimelech, made this Zadok high priest in his stead. He was of the right line, and restored thirty-three or four years after this by king Solomon.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:28
(28) And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour.—And Zadok, a youth, a valiant warrior. Perhaps the successor of Abiathar (1 Kings 2:26-27; 1 Kings 4:4), and his father-house (family), princes twenty and two. The sub-clan or family of Eleazar must have been strong at this time to be able to furnish all these captains, and their implied companies of warriors. But the sum total of the Levites is not given.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 12:28
28. Zadok] In 1 Chronicles 27:17 he seems to occupy the position assigned to Jehoiada in 1 Chronicles 12:27. Perhaps he succeeded him.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:28
28. Zadok — Not necessarily the high priest of this name.
