Sons of Zadok

The Sons of Zadok (in Aramaic: בְּנֵי צָדוֹק, bǝnē Ṣādōq) or Zadokites is a lineage of priests (kohanim) descended from Zadok that is described in the prophecies of Ezekiel. Zadok himself was the first high priest in Solomon's Temple (10th century BCE). His descendants were high priests in that temple until its destruction in 587 BCE. Ezekiel's prophecy came several decades after that destruction and describes the Zadokite family's loyalty to God while the rest of the nation rebelled against God.
