Commentary on 1 Kings 4:32 voices
“Scribes - That is, secretaries of state. He chose two, whereas David had but one: either, because he observed some inconveniences in trusting all those matters in one hand: or, because he had now much more employment than David had, this being a time of great peace and prosperity, and his empire enlarged.”
John Wesley · Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
“Shisha, or Shavsha 1Ch 18:16, seems also to have been called Sheva 2Sa 20:25, and Seraiah 2Sa 8:17. The ‘scribes’ were probably royal ‘secretaries’ (margin), who drew up the king’s edicts, wrote his letters, and perhaps managed his finances 1Ki 12:10. They were among his most influential councillors. By ‘recorder’ or ‘remembrancer’ (margin), we must understand ‘court annalist’ (marginal reference ‘a’).”
