1 Kings 4:7
_ _ 1 Kings 4:7-21. His twelve officers.
_ _ Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel — The royal revenues were raised according to the ancient, and still, in many parts, existing usage of the East, not in money payments, but in the produce of the soil. There would be always a considerable difficulty in the collection and transmission of these tithes (1 Samuel 8:15). Therefore, to facilitate the work, Solomon appointed twelve officers, who had each the charge of a tribe or particular district of country, from which, in monthly rotation, the supplies for the maintenance of the king’s household were drawn, having first been deposited in “the store cities” which were erected for their reception (1 Kings 9:19; 2 Chronicles 8:4, 2 Chronicles 8:6). |
- officers:
- These are doubtless to be considered as general receivers; for, as Sir John Chardin observes, "the revenues of the princes of the East are paid in the fruits and productions of the earth. There are no other taxes on the peasants."
|
- each man:
1 Chronicles 27:1-15 Now the children of Israel after their number, [to wit], the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course [were] twenty and four thousand. ... The twelfth [captain] for the twelfth month [was] Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.
