Historical & Contextual Notes
Σαδώκ is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew personal name צָדוֹק (Ṣādôq), well-attested in the Hebrew Bible as the name of a prominent priest during the reigns of David and Solomon (cf. 2 Samuel, 1 Kings). In late Second Temple and early Christian Greek sources, the name appears rarely and exclusively as a genealogical or historical reference. In the New Testament (Matthew 1:14), Σαδώκ occurs only in the genealogy of Jesus, reflecting Jewish/Israelite traditional usage. English translations often render the name as 'Zadok' or 'Sadoc,' but the underlying referent is a historical Israelite figure. The word is not used as a common noun in Greek; it functions only as a proper name. No religious, geographic, or ethnic identity is directly signified beyond its status as a personal name belonging to Israelite heritage.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
of Hebrew origin (צָדוֹק); Sadoc (i.e. Tsadok), an Israelite:--Sadoc.
