David's several officers Azmaveth son of Adiel The name "Azmaveth" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "strong as death" or "death is strong." This name reflects a common practice in ancient Israel of using names to convey strength or divine attributes. Azmaveth's lineage, being the son of Adiel, places him within a context of familial responsibility and honor. Adiel means "ornament of God," suggesting a heritage of faithfulness and dedication to God's service. This highlights the importance of family legacy in biblical times, where roles and responsibilities were often passed down through generations. was in charge of the royal storehouses Jonathan son of Uzziah was in charge of the storehouses in the outlying districts The number of these officers is noticeable, twelve being a normal number in Israelite institutions. (25) And over the king's treasures.--That is, those of the palace on Zion. And over the storehouses.--The Hebrew has the same word "treasures." The treasures "in the fields" (s?deh), or the country, in the cities, the villages and the "castles" (migd?lim), or towers (2Chronicles 26:10; Micah 4:8), include all that belonged to David outside the walls of Jerusalem. Jehonathan was comptroller-general of the revenues from these sources. Verses 25-31. - These verses have for their primary object, not to give an exhaustive summary of the wealth of David and the sources thereof, but to give the names of those persons who were charged with the care, or the management and care, of' it. The classification, however, is interesting, and may be naturally expected to be tolerably complete. We do not find any distinction made between such property as might have belonged to David as private property, and such as belonged to him as king - probably because there was none worth making. Verse 25. - For storehouses, read, as in former clause, treasures. The suggestion of the second half of this verse in comparison with the first is that Azmaveth's charge was over treasures in Jerusalem. For the castles, see 2 Chronicles 17:12; 2 Chronicles 27:4. The word אוצָר, though the same in both clauses, may probably enough cover precious treasure, as of gold, silver, costly raiment, etc. (1 Kings 14:26; 1 Kings 15:18), more particularly in the first clause, and grain, fruit, etc. (2 Chronicles 11:11), in the latter, for the word has distinctly this double application.
