1Ki 4:6 Ahishar was הבּית על, over the palace, i.e., governor of the palace, or minister of the king’s household (compare 1Ki 16:9; 2Ki 18:18, and Isa 22:15), an office met with for the first time under Solomon. Adoniram, probably the same person as Adoram in 2Sa 20:24, was chief overseer of the tributary service. He was so in the time of David also.
