"Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, were scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;" — The *scribal officials* (*sof'rim*, secretaries) Elihoreph (*Elya-horeph*) and Ahiah (*Achiyah*) handled written records and correspondence. Jehoshaphat (*Yehoshaphat*) served as *recorder* (*mazkir*), keeper of the *official record* and memory. The bureaucratic apparatus of Solomon's court included these offices that organized information, taxation, and royal decrees.
