After the Nov massacre, Evyasar the last remaining son of Achimelech the Kohen Gadoal and the priestly house of Ali fled and joined the then outlawed Doved ben Yeshi. Although Tzadok Hakohen was the most suitable via linage to replace Achimelech as Kohen Gadol, as eventually ended up happening, at that time he was too young. In the interim Yehoyada the First was appointed as head of the Kohanim. He also served as Rosh Sanhedrin, was the Kohen used to attain answers through the Urim Vtumim and according to some opinions even served temporarily as the Kohen Gadol. During the end of Shaul's reign and the reign of his son Ish Boshes, Yehoyada was the manager of all the Kohanim
Crowning Dovid
