SECT. I. To the building of the Temple.

THE Catalogue and Succssion of the High-priests, from the first institution of this Order, to the last times mentioned in the Old Testament, are thus given us in Scripture.

1. Aaron, Lev. 8. 7, &c.
2. Eleazar, Num. 20▪ 28.
3. Phinehas, Num. 26. 13. Judg. 20. 28. He is tenaciously held by the Jews to be Elias.
4. Abishua, 1 Chron. 6. 5, 6.
5. Bukki, 1 Chron. 6. 5, 6.
6. Uzzi, 1 Chron. 6. 5, 6.
7. Zeruhiah, 1 Chron. 6. 5, 6.
8. Merajoth, 1 Chron. 6. 5, 6. Here the High-priesthood changed from the Line of Eleazar into the Line of Ithamar.
9. Eli of Ithamar, 1 Sam. 1. 9. & 2. 35. 36.
10. Phinehas, 1 Sam. 4.
11. Ahitub, 1 Sam. 14. 13. & 22. 20.
12. Ahimelech or Ahijah, ibid.
13. Abiathar, 1 Sam. 22. 20. He was put out of the High-priesthood by Solomon, 1 King. 2. 26.

In the time of these High-priests of the House of Ithamar, there were these successi∣ons in the Line of Eleazar.

Amariah, 1 Chron. 6. 7.
Ahitub, 2 Sam. 8. 17.
Zadok, 2 Sam. 8. 17.

Now whereas it is said in the place cited last, that Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahime∣lech the son of Abiathar were Priests; it is to be understood as the like is in the 1 Sam. 1. 3. of Hophni and Phinehas, that they were Priests unto the Lord, chief among the Priests, and Chief Overseers in the constant service and matters of the Sanctuary, but their Fa∣ther Eli was High-priest; so in the beginning of Davids settlement in his Kingdom, Abi∣athar was chief Priest, and he was of the House of Ithamar; now the High-priest did not so much attend the ordinary and common service of the Sanctuary; therefore Za∣dock of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of Ithamar, were the chief in that service under him.
