Zadok served as high priest in Jerusalem in the time of King Solomon. He brought the young man into the Holy of Holies, where the youth laid hold of the altar horns, and with Benaiah he gave him sovereignty and anointed him with the holy oil of kingship. Solomon then told Zadok to make the young man know the judgment and decree of God that he must observe.

Zadok answered the young man by urging him to hearken and perform what was said so that he would live to God, warning that disobedience would bring punishment, famine, pestilence, and defeat by foes. Azariah the son of Zadok the priest, who was the high priest, was among those appointed to be sent away.
