Thayer's Greek Lexicon
Ἀβιαθάρ, indeclinable proper name (though in Josephus, Antiquities 6, 14, 6 Ἀβιαθάρος, ), àÆáÀéÈúÈø (father of abundance), Abiathar, a certain Hebrew high priest: Mar 2:26 — where he is by mistake confounded with Ahimelech his father (1Sa 21:1 ff); (yet cf. 1Sa 22:20 with 1Ch 18:16; 1Ch 24:6; 1Ch 24:31; also 2Sa 15:24-29; 1Ki 2:26-27 with 2Sa 8:17; 1Ch 24:6; 1Ch 24:31. It would seem that double names were especially common in the case of priests (cf. 1Ma 2:1-5; Josephus, Vit. §§1,2) and that father and son often bore the same name (cf. Luk 1:5; Luk 1:59; Josephus, the passage cited and Antiquities 20, 9, 1). See McClellan at the passage and B. D. American edition, p. 7).
