Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 32-34. - These verses contain the names of seven men of high position, and who were, at all events, important enough, in one respect or another, for this closing special mention. 1. Jonathan and Ahithophel are singled out as counsellors (יועֵצ) of the king. 2. Hushai the Archite is mentioned as the companion (רֵעַ) of the king. 3. Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar are mentioned as standing in a similar relation of counsellors to the king with Ahithophel, but after him. . . .
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersIV.--DAVID'S PRIVY COUNCIL 1Chronicles 27:32-34).(32) Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor.--A son of David's brother Shimeah was named Jonathan (1Chronicles 20:7; 2Samuel 21:21). Nothing further is known of the present Jonathan than what is here related.A wise man, and a scribe.--Rather, a sage and a scholar was he. The word rendered "scribe" (soph?r) usually answers to the ?????????? of the New Testament, and so the LXX. gives it here. We may remember that in the rude epochs of society mere writing has been esteemed an art, so that a king of England who could write was dubbed Beauclerc, "fine scholar." Charles the Great never got so far as signing his own name, though he made great efforts to do so. But writing goes back to a very ancient period among Semitic races, and soph?r probably means here, as in Ezra 7:6, "a man of letters," or "skilled in the sacred law." (See 1Chronicles 2:55; Isaiah 33:18; Psalm 45:2.) David's official soph?r, or scribe, was Shavsha (1Chronicles 18:16). . . .
