Contextual Overview
35 Solomon put Benaiah in Joab's place as army commander, and he put Zadok in Abiathar's place as priest. 36 Solomon sent for Shimei and said, "Build a house here in Jerusalem and live in it. But whatever you do, don't leave the city! 37 If you ever cross Kidron Valley and leave Jerusalem, you will be killed. And it will be your own fault." 38 "That's fair, Your Majesty," Shimei answered. "I'll do that." So Shimei lived in Jerusalem from then on. 39 About three years later, two of Shimei's servants ran off to King Achish in Gath. When Shimei found out where they were, 40 he saddled his donkey and went after them. He found them and brought them back to Jerusalem. 41 Someone told Solomon that Shimei had gone to Gath and was back. 42 Solomon sent for him and said: Shimei, you promised in the name of the Lord that you would never leave Jerusalem. I warned you that you would die if you did. You agreed that this was fair, didn't you? 43 You have disobeyed me and have broken the promise you made to the Lord . 44 I know you remember all the cruel things you did to my father David. Now the Lord is going to punish you for what you did.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host,.... Advanced him from being captain of his bodyguards to be general of the army:
and Zadok the priest did he put in the room of Abiathar; from a common priest he promoted him to the high priesthood; whereby that office was restored to its ancient line, the family or Eleazar, having been in the line of Ithamar for many years; and the prediction of the destruction of Eli's house, made eighty years ago, began to be fulfilled, 1 Samuel 2:31.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The high priesthood had been for some time in a certain sense divided between Zadok and Abiathar. (See the 1 Kings 1:8 note). Henceforth, Zadok became sole high priest.
