Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
Eliakim - successor to Shebna, who had been "over the household" - i:e., chief minister of the king: in Isaiah 22:15-20 this was foretold.
Scribe - secretary.
Recorder - literally, one who reminds; a remembrancer to keep the king informed on important facts, and to act as historiographer. In 2 Kings 18:18 the additional fact is given, that the Assyrian envoys "called to the king," in consequence of which Eliakim, etc., "came out to them."
