The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Recorder. The word is of the same root with…
Recorder. The word is of the same root with that in 1Ch_16:4, "to record." The exact duties and position of this officer are not stated in any one place, but may be gathered from 2Sa_8:16 2Sa_20:24; 1Ki_4:3; 2Ki_18:18, 2Ki_18:37; 2Ch_34:8. From these notices, belonging to somewhat separate times, we may gather the dignity and responsibility and trust of the office which the recorder filled, altogether in excess of his duty as mere historical secretary.
