Chief Officers Of King : The Scribe

• King

And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was The scribe;

And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna The scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna The scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna The scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, The scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,

And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan The scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

And Shaphan The scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.

And Shaphan The scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan The scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,

And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel The scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel The scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan The scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.

Then Shaphan The scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan The scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying,

Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai The scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:

Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai The scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,

Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai The scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.

Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai The scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.

Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, The scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel.

And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, The scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,

And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra The scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.

And Ezra The scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.

• Priest

And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest The scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.

And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra The scribe, even to understand the words of the law.

These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, The scribe.

• Cymbal

And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra The scribe before them.

• Honesty
• Priest

And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok The scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.

Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is The scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna The scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.

Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna The scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna The scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

• Temple

Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan The scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people.

Then he went down into the king's house, into The scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama The scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama The scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.

So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama The scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.

• Persecution

But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch The scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them.

Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch The scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.

• Prisoners

Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan The scribe: for they had made that the prison.

Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan The scribe, lest I die there.

And The scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

Where is the wise? where is The scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
