Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

A list - supplemental in character - of some chief officers of David, not mentioned before. The list cannot belong to a very late part of David’s reign, since it contains the name of Ahithophel, who killed himself during Absalom’s rebellion 2Sa 17:23. 1Ch 27:33 Was the king’s companion - or, “king’s friend,” as in 1Ki 4:5. Compare also 2Sa 16:17. 1Ch 27:34 After Ahithophel - i. e., next in counsel to Ahithophel: inferior to him, but superior to all others.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Another, who no doubt excelled in learning and prudence, was tutor to his children. Ahithophel, a very cunning man, was his counsellor: but Hushai, an honest man, was his companion and confidant.
