(mazkir). Historiographer, whose charge was over the public registers, to see that fit persons put on record for future remembrance the annals of the kingdom. A high office; the chancellor, not merely national annalist (as Vulgate and Septuagint); he kept a record of whatever took place around the king, informed him of what occurred in the kingdom, and presided over the privy council (2Sa_8:16; 2Sa_20:24; 1Ch_18:15, margin "at the hand of the king"; 1Ki_4:3; 2Ki_18:18; 2Ki_18:37; 2Ch_34:8).

Recorder. An officer of high rank in the Jewish state, exercising the functions, not simply of an annalist, but of chancellor or president of the privy council.

Compare 2Ki_18:18; 2Ki_18:37; 2Ch_34:8.

rḗ-kôr?dẽr (מזכּיר, mazkı̄r; the Revised Version margin ?chronicler?): A high functionary in the court of the Jewish kings, part of whose duty seems to have been to chronicle the events of the reign, but who also occupied a position corresponding with that of the modern vizier (2Sa_8:16; 2Sa_20:24; 1Ch_18:15, etc.). His high rank is shown by the facts that, with other officers, he represented Hezekiah in speaking with Rabshakeh (2Ki_18:18), and, in the reign of Josiah, superintended the repairs of the temple (2Ch_34:8).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
PRINTER 1915.


Recorder, the title of a high officer in the court of the kings of Judah (2Sa_8:16; 1Ki_4:3; 2Ki_18:18). 'Remembrancer' would perhaps be a more exact translation of the title. The officer thus designated seems to have been not only the grand custodier of the public records, but to have kept the responsible registry of the current transactions of the government. This was an employment of the very first rank and dignity in the courts of the ancient East.

Recorder
(מִזְכַּיר, mazkir', a remembrancer; Sept. ἀναμιμνήσκων, ὑπομνηματογράφος), an officer of high rank in the Jewish state, exercising the functions, not simply of an annalist, but of chancellor or president of the privy council (Isa_36:3; Isa_36:22). The title itself may, perhaps, have reference to his office as adviser of the king; at all events, the notices prove that he was more than an annalist, though the superintendence of the records was without doubt intrusted to him. In David's court the recorder appears among the high officers of his household (2Sa_8:16; 2Sa_20:24; 1Ch_18:15). In Solomon's he is coupled with the three secretaries, and is mentioned last, probably as being their president (1Ki_4:3). Under Hezekiah, the recorder, in conjunction with the praefect of the palace and the secretary, represented the king (2Ki_18:18; 2Ki_18:37). The patronymic of the recorder at this time, Joah the son of Asaph, makes it probable that he was a Levite. Under Josiah, the recorder, the secretary, and the governor of the city were intrusted with the superintendence of the repairs of the Temple (2Ch_34:8). These notices are sufficient to prove the high position held by him. The same office is mentioned as existing in the Persian court, both ancient and modern, where it is called wauka nuwish; andl also in the time of the Roman emperors Arcadius and Honorius, under the name of magiste memorice. In Ezr_4:15, mention is made of “the book of the records,” and in Est_6:1; Est_10:2, of “the book of records of the chronicles,” written by officers of this nature. Many of the royal annals of Egypt and Assyria were sculptured on the obelisks, slabs, and monuments, and are still in fine preservation; and already they have contributed to the illustration of the inspired records.
