Ahitub, 1

Ahi´tub (brother of goodness), son of Phinehas, and grandson of the high-priest Eli. His father Phinehas having been slain when the ark of God was taken by the Philistines, he succeeded his grandfather Eli B.C. 1141, and was himself succeeded by his son Ahiab about B.C. 1093.

Ahitub, 2

Ahitub was also the name of the father of Zadok, who was made high-priest by Saul after the death of Ahimelech (2 Samuel 8:17; 1 Chronicles 6:8). There is not the slightest ground for the notion that this Ahitub was ever high-priest himself—indeed, it is historically impossible.
