צָדוֹק H6659
Zadok ('righteous'), a personal name borne chiefly by David and Solomon's high priest and several later figures.
A Hebrew proper name meaning 'righteous' or 'just,' from the root ts-d-q. The most prominent Zadok is the priest who served faithfully under David during Absalom's rebellion (2 Sam 15:24-29) and anointed Solomon as king (1 Kgs 1:39). His descendants, the 'sons of Zadok,' became the legitimate priestly line in Ezekiel's temple vision (Ezek 40:46; 44:15; 48:11). The name also belongs to Uzziah's father-in-law (2 Kgs 15:33), two Nehemiah-era wall-builders (Neh 3:4, 29), and several figures in the Chronicler's genealogies. Its consistent transliteration across languages (Greek Sadok, Spanish Sadoc) reflects its status as a fixed proper noun.
Senses
1. Zadok (personal name) — The personal name Zadok (tsadoq, 'righteous'), designating primarily the high priest who served under David and Solomon and founded the dominant priestly dynasty. Ezekiel's vision reserves the inner sanctuary for the 'sons of Zadok' who remained faithful (Ezek 44:15). The name also appears for a Chronicler-era priest (1 Chr 5:38), Uzziah's father-in-law (2 Kgs 15:33), and Nehemiah's wall-builders (Neh 3:4, 29). Cross-linguistic renderings (Greek Sadok, Spanish Sadoc, German Zadok) are simple transliterations confirming its proper-noun status. 53×
