Barnes' Notes
Shisha, or Shavsha I Chronicles 18:16, seems also to have been called Sheva II Samuel 20:25, and Seraiah II Samuel 8:17.
The "scribes" were probably royal "secretaries" (margin), who drew up the king' s edicts, wrote his letters, and perhaps managed his finances I Kings 12:10. They were among his most influential councillors.
By "recorder" or "remembrancer" (margin), we must understand "court annalist" (marginal reference "a" ).
