1 Kings 2:26

Abiathar's Banishment

²⁵ So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him so that he died. ²⁶ Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord God before my father David, and because you were afflicted in everything with which my father was afflicted.” ²⁷ So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to the Lord, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord, which He had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
