'''Ahitub''' ([[Hebrew]] '''אֲחִט֡וּב''', [[Name means::brother of goodness]]) (fl. 1 Bul 2883 AM–ca. 2908 AM) was the eighth [[high priest]] of [[Israel]]. He served during the [[Judge]]ships of [[Samson]] and [[Samuel]] and was the father of two high priests who served during the reign of [[Saul]].<ref name=Barton>Barton GA, "[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=995&letter=A Ahitub]," ''The Jewish Encyclopedia'', 1906.

== Family ==
Ahitub was the son of Phinehas, son of [[Eli]], and was the elder brother of Ichabod, the "man of no glory" born on the day that Phinehas and his brother Hophni were killed while carrying the [[Ark of the Covenant]] into battle. ({{bible ref|book=1_Samuel|chap=14|verses=3}})
== Career ==
[[Eli]], Ahitub's grandfather and predecessor, died on the day of the [[capture of the ark]]. Ahitub succeeded to his position on that day.
The [[Bible]] gives no details of his career. Because his elder son and successor [[Ahijah (Ithamarite)|Ahijah]] was high priest in the second year of Saul's reign, Ahitub died before then. The best estimate is that he died one year before Saul became king, after a twenty-five-year career.
