But later Adonijah asked Solomon for permission to marry [[Abishag]], the last concubine of David. Solomon then suspected that Adonijah was making another bid for the throne, and had Adonijah executed. He then removed Abiathar as high priest and conferred that honor upon his colleague Zadok. But Solomon did not have Abiathar executed; instead he banished him to his village of [[Anathoth]], a village in [[tribe of Benjamin|Benjamite]] territory that had been set aside for the [[Aaron]]ids.<ref name=light/><ref name=Konig/><ref name=Easton/><ref name=Kent/> ({{Bible ref|book=1_Kings|chap=2|verses=26-27}})

Many scholars interpret certain passages (e.g. {{Bible ref|book=2_Samuel|chap=8|verses=17}}) as suggesting that Abiathar and Zadok served jointly as high priests, and even that the names of Abiathar and Ahimelech were transposed.<ref name=light/><ref name=Konig/><ref name=Easton/> A transposition would be highly unlikely to escape detection in the meticulous cross-checking of every manuscript during copying (see [[Biblical Inerrancy]]). Moreover the Bible gives no definite evidence that Zadok was actually high priest before Solomon removed Abiathar from that office.
