Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 36:3

"Then came forth unto him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder." — Isaiah 36:3 (ASV)

Eliakim. —It is significant that Eliakim now fills the office which, a short time before, had been filled by Shebna, while the latter is reduced to the inferior position of a scribe (Isaiah 22:15–25). The change is clearly traceable to Isaiah’s influence. The “scribe” was the secretary who formulated dispatches and decrees; the “recorder,” probably the registrar of the official annals.
