anger = quick-tempered. The name of two biblical men: The father
Ahinoam, the wife of Saul (1 Sam. 14:50). The son and successor
of Zadok in the office of high priest (1 Chr. 6:8, 53). When
Absalom revolted, he remained faithful to David, and was of
service to him keeping him informed on Absalom’s activities in
Jerusalem (2 Sam. 15:24-37; 17:15-21). He was a fast runner, and
was the first to carry to David the news of the defeat of
Absalom, although, for emotional reasons, he refrained from
telling him of his death (2 Sam. 18:19-33).
