Abiathar is the son of Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Eli. His name means father of abundance, and he was a priest assigned to the temple during David's reign. Abiathar is the only priest who escaped King Saul's priests' massacre. He fled to King David, and David appointed him to serve as a priest in the royal court. He was one of the priests that carried the Ark of the Covenant when David's fled Jerusalem. He returned to Jerusalem to be an informant for King David. After the death of David, Abiathar supported Adonijah instead of Solomon. After Solomon became the new king, he stripped Abiathar of the priesthood, but he did not execute him because he did remain loyal to King David, his father. Solomon exiled Abiathar to Anathoth.
