Zadok became the father of Ahimaaz. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The genealogy explicitly tracks the line of Zadok, whose appointment as High Priest fulfilled the prophecy that God would raise up a faithful priest to replace the house of Eli. *Historical context*: The transition of the high priesthood from the line of Ithamar (Eli's house) to the line of Eleazar (Zadok's house) occurred during the reign of Solomon.
