SCRIPTURE

"Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;" — 1 Kings 4:3 (ASV)

Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes
Their father Shisha, the same with Sheva, was scribe only in David's time; and he being dead very probably, both his sons were continued in the office as secretaries of state, Solomon having more business for such an office, see (2 Samuel 20:25) ;

Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder ;
who was in the same office in the times of David, and now held it under Solomon, (2 Samuel 8:16) (20:24) .
