1 Chronicles 18:15 -

Recorder . The word is of the same root with that in 1 Chronicles 16:4 , "to record." The exact duties and position of this officer are not stated in any one place, but may be gathered from 2 Samuel 8:16 ; 2 Samuel 20:24 ; 1 Kings 4:3 ; 2 Kings 18:18 , 2 Kings 18:37 ; 2 Chronicles 34:8 . From these notices, belonging to somewhat separate times, we may gather the dignity and responsibility and trust of the office which the recorder filled, altogether in excess of his duty as mere historical secretary.
