Aaronites are the descendants of Aaron and therefore priests. The name is used only twice in the Bible. In 1 Chronicles 12:27And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred;
See All..., they make up 3700 fighting men who, under the leadership of Jehoiada the father of Benaiah, joined David at Hebron. Later, in 1 Chronicles 27:17Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok:
See All..., their chief is Zadok who had been “a young man mighty of valour” (1 Chronicles 12:28And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains.
See All...). They clearly made up an important fighting force in the time of David.
