26And to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your field, for you are a man deserving death; but on this day I will not put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because you shared in all the affliction with which my father was afflicted.”

27So Solomon drove Abiathar out from being priest to Yahweh, fulfilling the word of Yahweh that he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
