35 And the king put Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest he put in the place of Abiathar.
So Solomon let Abiathar be priest no longer, so that he might make the word of the Lord come true which he said about the sons of Eli in Shiloh.
Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was head of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
And with great joy they made a feast before the Lord that day. And they made Solomon, the son of David, king a second time, putting the holy oil on him to make him holy to the Lord as ruler, and on Zadok as priest.
Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath. So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace: And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of the children of Israel.
Eleazar was the father of Phinehas; Phinehas was the father of Abishua; And Abishua was the father of Bukki, and Bukki was the father of Uzzi, And Uzzi was the father of Zerahiah, and Zerahiah was the father of Meraioth; Meraioth was the father of Amariah, and Amariah was the father of Ahitub, And Ahitub was the father of Zadok, and Zadok was the father of Ahimaaz, And Ahimaaz was the father of Azariah, and Azariah was the father of Johanan, And Johanan was the father of Azariah, (he was priest in the house which Solomon put up in Jerusalem:) And Azariah was the father of Amariah, and Amariah was the father of Ahitub, And Ahitub was the father of Zadok, and Zadok was the father of Shallum, And Shallum was the father of Hilkiah, and Hilkiah was the father of Azariah, And Azariah was the father of Seraiah, and Seraiah was the father of Jehozadak; And Jehozadak went as a prisoner when the Lord took away Judah and Jerusalem by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.
And these are the sons of Aaron: Eleazar his son, Phinehas his son, Abishua his son, Bukki his son, Uzzi his son, Zerahiah his son, Meraioth his son, Amariah his son, Ahitub his son, Zadok his son, Ahimaaz his son.

Commentary on 1 Kings 2 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 2
In this chapter we have David setting and Solomon at the same time rising.
1Ki 2:1-11
David, that great and good man, is here a dying man (v. 1), and a dead man, v. 10. It is well there is another life after this, for death stains all the glory of this, and lays it in the dust. We have here,
1Ki 2:12-25
Here is,
1Ki 2:26-34
Abiathar and Joab were both aiding and abetting in Adonijah's rebellious attempt, and it is probable were at the bottom of this new motion made of Adonijah for Abishag, and it should seem Solomon knew it, v. 22. This was, in both, an intolerable affront both to God and to the government, and the worse because of their high station and the great influence their examples might have upon many. They therefore come next to be reckoned with. They are both equally guilty of the treason, but, in the judgment passed upon them, a difference is made and with good reason.
1Ki 2:35-46
