SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:25

Y Azmavet hijo de Adiel tenía cargo de los tesoros del rey; y de los tesoros de los campos, y de las ciudades, y de las aldeas y castillos, Jonatán hijo de Uzías;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 27:25

Verse 25. - 31. Over the king's
treasures] We see from these verses in what the personal property of David consisted:-1. Treasures, gold, silver, &c. 2. Goods and grain in castles, cities villages, and in the fields. 3.

Vineyards and their produce. 4. Olive-trees and their produce. 6. Neat cattle, in different districts. 6. Camels and asses: they had no horses. 7. Flocks, sheep, goats, &c.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 25-32 . And over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel , etc.] The historian here proceeds to relate who were employed in the economical and civil affairs of David; and the first mentioned is the lord of his treasury, who had the care of his gold and silver brought into his exchequer, either by a levy on his own people, or by the tribute of others:

Jehonathan the son of Uzziah had the care of the storehouses, in which were laid up what the fields, cities, villages, and castles that belonged to the king produced, whether by fruits gathered in, or by rents collected: Ezri the son of Chelub looked after his workmen in the fields, employed in the tillage of the ground: Shimei of Ramath, in the tribe of Benjamin, had the care of the vineyards, to see that they were dressed and pruned, and kept in good order: Zabdi of Shepham, ( Numbers 34:10,11) had the charge of the wine squeezed out of the grapes, both in the presses and in the cellars:

Baalhanan of Gedor, in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:36,58) was over the olive and sycamore trees, to see that they were well taken care of: and Joash was entrusted with the cellars where the oil was deposited: Shitrai the Sharonite had the herds of cattle fed in Sharon committed to his trust; whether in Sharon beyond Jordan, or that about Lydda and Joppa, near the Mediterranean sea, both affording fruitful pastures for herds; and this man, being of Sharon, was a fit man to be employed in such service: and Shaphat the son of Adlai was over those herds that were in the valleys, where were good pastures for them; such officers Pharaoh king of Egypt had, ( Genesis 47:6) and as early as the times of Ninus king of Assyria, one named Simma was master of the king’s cattle f126 , as Faustulus was to Amulius king of the Latines f127 ; and so Tyrrhus in Virgil had the command of all the king’s cattle; and Cicero mentions another in the same office f129 : Obil the Ishmaelite (an Arab, as the Targum) had the care of the camels; and a very proper person he was, who must know the nature of them, and how to manage them, Arabia, or the land of the Ishmaelites, abounding with them. This man was so called, either because he was an Ishmaelite by birth, and was proselyted to the Jewish religion; or he was an Israelite that had dwelt some time in the land of Ishmael, and therefore so called. Bochart thinks he had his name of Obil from his office, the word in the Arabic language signifying a keeper of camels. Jehdeiah the Meronothite was over the asses, which were employed in ploughing and carrying burdens; and Jaziz the Hagarite was over the flocks of sheep, the chief shepherd, who had the command of all the under shepherds, and a very proper person, being an Hagarite, or Arab; for such dwelt in tents for the sake of pasturage for their flocks, as Jarchi notes: these were the principal men that had the care of David’s personal substance; so, in later times, the Roman Caesars had such sort of servants to take care of their farms, fields, fruit, cattle, etc. the rest that follow were David’s courtiers.

Jonathan, or to whom David was uncle, the son of Shimea, his brother being a wise and learned man, was his counsellor, (see 2 Samuel 21:21) and Jehiel the Hachmonite was preceptor, or tutor to the king’s sons, that brought them up, and took care of their education; Ahithophel was his counsellor until the conspiracy and rebellion of Absalom; and Hushai the Archite was his companion, friend, and favourite, with whom he conversed at leisure hours. After the death of Ahithophel, Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar, were his counsellors, and Joab the general of his army.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 16-34 - The officers of the court, or the rulers of the king's substance, ha the oversight and charge of the king's tillage, his vineyards, his herds, his flocks, which formed the wealth of eastern kings. Much of the wisdom of princes is seen in the choice of their ministry, an common persons show it in the choice of their advisers. David, thoug he had all these about him, preferred the word of God before them all Thy testimonies are my delight and my counsellors __________________________________________________________________
