Son of Azor and father of Achim, listed in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus. Living during the intertestamental period, Zadok carried forward the royal line of David in an era when Israel had no king and awaited the promised Messiah. His name, meaning ‘righteous,’ echoes the priestly and royal heritage of Israel’s covenant community.
