Bible Comments

The king’s scribe - Or “secretary” (1 Kings 4:3 note). Such persons are often seen in the Assyrian sculptures, with a roll, apparently of parchment, in one hand and a pen in the other, taking account for the king of the spoil brought in from foreign expeditions.

2 Kings 12:10

10 And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribed and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
