1 Kings 4:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Over the household; steward of the king's household. Over the tribute, to wit, the personal tribute, or the levy of men, as appears by comparing this with 1 Kings 5:13,14, it being very fit that there should be some one person to whom the chief conduct or inspection of that great business was committed.

1 Kings 4:6

6 And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.c
