Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Achilud, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. However, the role of a recorder or chronicler may be conceptually related to Greek terms used for similar positions in the New Testament, though no direct equivalent name is provided.

Usage: Achilud is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is specifically used to identify the father of Jehoshaphat, who served as a recorder or chronicler during the reigns of King David and King Solomon.

Context: Achilud is mentioned in the context of the administrative structure of the united monarchy of Israel. His son, Jehoshaphat, held a significant position as the recorder, a role that involved maintaining records and chronicles of the kingdom's events and decrees. This position was crucial for the administration and governance of the kingdom, ensuring that the king's decisions and the nation's history were accurately documented. Achilud's mention in the genealogical context highlights the importance of family lineage and the hereditary nature of certain roles within the royal court. The references to Achilud can be found in the following passages:

2 Samuel 8:16: "Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder."
2 Samuel 20:24: "Adoniram was in charge of forced labor; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder."
1 Kings 4:3: "Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder."

These passages illustrate the continuity and stability of the administrative roles from David's reign into Solomon's, with Jehoshaphat son of Achilud serving as a key official in both administrations.
