From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Zadok
     righteous. (1.) A son of Ahitub, of the line of Eleazer (2 Sam.
     8:17; 1 Chr. 24:3), high priest in the time of David (2 Sam.
     20:25) and Solomon (1 Kings 4:4). He is first mentioned as
     coming to take part with David at Hebron (1 Chr. 12:27, 28). He
     was probably on this account made ruler over the Aaronites


     (27:17). Zadok and Abiathar acted as high priests on several
     important occasions (1 Chr. 15:11; 2 Sam. 15:24-29, 35, 36); but
     when Adonijah endeavoured to secure the throne, Abiathar went
     with him, and therefore Solomon "thrust him out from being high
     priest," and Zadok, remaining faithful to David, became high
     priest alone (1 Kings 2:27, 35; 1 Chr. 29:22). In him the line
     of Phinehas resumed the dignity, and held it till the fall of
     Jerusalem. He was succeeded in his sacred office by his son
     Azariah (1 Kings 4:2; comp. 1 Chr. 6:3-9).
     
       (2.) The father of Jerusha, who was wife of King Uzziah, and
     mother of King Jotham (2 Kings 15:33; 2 Chr. 27:1).
     
       (3.) "The scribe" set over the treasuries of the temple by
     Nehemiah along with a priest and a Levite (Neh. 13:13).
     
       (4.) The sons of Baana, one of those who assisted in
     rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem (Neh. 3:4).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:

  Zadok, just; justified
