At the end of this verse the A.V. reads "He was the only officer which was in the land." This does not seem to agree with 1 Kings 4:13,14 , for those mentioned therein were also on the east of the Jordan. The [[Hebrew]] word for 'officer' in 1 Kings 4:19 , though a kindred word, is not the same as in 1 Kings 4:7 and 27, and may be translated 'superintendent.' </p> | ||

One of Solomon’s twelve commissariat officers, whose district lay to the E. of Jordan. At the end of 1 Kings 4:19 comes a sentence referred by AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] to this Geber, and rendered ‘and <em> he was </em> the only officer which was in the land.’ But it is possible that the text should be emended so as to read ‘and one officer was over all the officers who were in the land,’ the reference being, not to Geber, but to Azariah, son of Nathan, mentioned in v. 6 as ‘over the officers.’ </p> | ||
