Shisha<\/em> and Shavsha<\/em> probably represent two different attempts to pronounce a foreign name; Seraiah<\/em> and Sheva<\/em> are mere errors of transcription. Foreigners were admitted to posts of authority in the empire of David and Solomon; Ittai the Gittite and Uriah the Hittite are instances.<\/p>\n scribe<\/em> ] R.V. mg., secretary<\/em>. See 2Ki 12:10<\/span>; 2Ki 18:18 ; 2Ki 22:3<\/span>; cp. 2Ki 25:19<\/span>, a passage which suggests that there was a second scribe with military duties. The first, the king’s scribe, would formulate the king’s orders and conduct his correspondence with foreign powers.<\/p>\n Verse 16<\/span>.

(Comp. 1Ch. 12:28<\/span>; 1Ch. 16:39<\/span>; 2Sa. 8:17<\/span>; 2Sa. 15:24<\/span>; 2Sa. 19:11<\/span>; 1Ki. 1:8<\/span>; 1Ki. 4:4<\/span>.)<\/p>\n Abimelech the son of Abiathar.<\/strong>Read Ahimelech the son of Abiathar.<\/em> Samuel has Ahimelech the son of Abiathar. Elsewhere Zadok and Abiathar figure as the priests of Davids reign (comp. 2Sa. 15:29<\/span>; 2Sa. 15:35<\/span>), and as Abiathar was a son of the Ahimelech who was slain at Nob by Sauls orders (1Sa. 22:20<\/span>), it has been proposed to read here and in the parallel passage, Abiathar the son of Ahimelech. The correction, however, is far from certain, inasmuch as an Ahimelech son of Abiathar, who was priest in Davids time, is mentioned thrice in 1Ch. 24:3<\/span>; 1Ch. 24:6<\/span>; 1Ch. 24:31<\/span>, and this Ahimelech may have been acting as locum tenens<\/em> for his father at the time when this brief list was drawn up. In the absence of details, it would be arbitrary to<\/em> alter the text of four different passages of the Chronicles. In Samuel the Syriac and Arabic read Abiathar son of Ahimelech, but here LXX., Vulg., Syriac, Arabic, all have Ahimelech son of Abiathar.<\/p>\n Abiathar<\/strong> was of the lineage of Ithamar.<\/p>\n Shavsha.<\/strong>Besides the variants in the margin, 2Sa. 20:25<\/span> has Shva (Heb. margin, Shya<\/em>).

Some inconsiderately would read, Abiathar, the son of<\/em> <\/p>\n Ahimelech; <\/em>when that Ahimelech, who was the son of Abiathar, is mentioned, ch. 1Ch 24:6<\/span> and in other places, and was another man. Houbigant. <\/p>\n REFLECTIONS.<\/strong>1st, David’s conquests here recorded, we had 2 Samuel 8<\/span>. They followed upon the prayer and promise of the preceding chapter; for, they who have God for their friend have nothing to fear from their enemies. Note; <\/em>(1.) Such shall be the believer’s victories over all his corruptions: though they are numerous, and often return to the attack, yet sin shall not prevail against him. (2.) The associated forces of earth and hell in vain oppose God’s church; it shall stand triumphant at last over every foe. (3.) Shields of gold cannot defend us; but the shield of faith never faileth. <\/p>\n 2nd, They who are prosperous, like David, will be courted; but a true friend is best known in adversity. Tou counted David’s favour well worth the most valuable present that he could send him; and shall we not be more solicitous to secure him <\/em>for our friend, whose favour is better than life itself, and which may be obtained without price or present? David’s government appears to be as excellent as his victories were glorious; and no wonder, when God prospered him in every undertaking. The son of David rules with greater equity, as well as enjoys a more universal dominion: happy the people who are subjects of his righteous government, and enjoy his divine protection. <\/p>\n Zadok. Compare 1Ch 6:8. 2Sa 8:17; 2Sa 15:29. <\/p>\n Abimelech. Some codices, with Aramaean, Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulg, read “Ahimelech”. Compare 2Sa 8:17. <\/p>\n Shavsha.
