Strong's Lexicon Tsadoq: Zadok Original Word: צָדוֹק Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צָדַק (tsadaq), meaning "to be just" or "to be righteous." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Zadok, the concept of righteousness associated with his name can be linked to Greek words like δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosynē, Strong's G1343), meaning "righteousness." Usage: The name "Zadok" means "righteous" or "just." In the Bible, Zadok is primarily known as a high priest during the reigns of King David and King Solomon. He is a significant figure in the establishment of the priestly line that served in the First Temple in Jerusalem. Cultural and Historical Background: Zadok was a descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses, and belonged to the Levitical priesthood. He first appears in the biblical narrative as a loyal supporter of King David during Absalom's rebellion (2 Samuel 15:24-29). Zadok's loyalty and righteousness earned him a prominent role in the religious and political life of Israel. He was instrumental in anointing Solomon as king, ensuring the continuation of David's dynasty (1 Kings 1:39). The "Zadokite" priesthood became a central part of the religious leadership in Israel, and his descendants continued to serve in the temple.
