Overview
Elihoreph, son of Shisha, served as one of Solomon's two scribes (1 Kings 4:3). He worked alongside his brother Ahijah in managing royal records and administrative duties during Solomon's prosperous reign. This position reflects the organized governance Solomon implemented as he ruled over the united kingdom of Israel.
Key Scriptures
"Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were scribes" (1 Kings 4:3, ESV).
"Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household" (1 Kings 4:7, NASB).
"The Lord gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore" (1 Kings 4:29, NIV).
Application
