Abstract
After the rejection of Eli and his family as priests God declared that he will raise up a faithful priest. The identification of this priest has been a point of difficulty among scholars. The most widely held view is that 1 Kgs. 2, with the installation of Zadok as priest, gives the identity of the faithful priest. This essay proposes a different solution. The books of 1 and 2 Sam. offer both thematic and linguistic connections between the faithful priest of 1 Sam. 2:35 and David. The promise of the faithful priest, therefore, is to be viewed through a Davidic lens.
