1 Kings 4:5 Summary
This verse describes two important roles in King Solomon's administration: Azariah son of Nathan, who was in charge of the governors, and Zabud son of Nathan, who was a priest and adviser to the king. These positions highlight the importance of effective leadership, spiritual guidance, and teamwork, as seen in other parts of the Bible, such as Exodus 18:13-27 and Matthew 20:25-28. By understanding these roles, we can learn valuable lessons about how to serve others and prioritize God's wisdom in our own lives. Just as King Solomon's administration was organized to support the kingdom, we can organize our own lives to serve God and others, as taught in Ephesians 4:11-12 and 1 Peter 4:10-11.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 4:5
Over the officers, or overseers, or surveyors, to wit, over those twelve officers named , &c., where this Hebrew word is used, who were all subject, and to give up their accounts to him; though the word signifies any governors or commanders of the higher sort, as . Son of Nathan, the prophet, who had been so highly instrumental in Solomon’ s establishment in the throne. Principal officer; possibly president of the king’ s council. The Hebrew word is cohen, which, , is rendered priest; whence some read this place thus: Zabud the son of Nathan the priest, or the minister, (as the word properly signifies, and that title well enough agrees to a prophet; or the prince, for the prophet Nathan was a man considerable both for his quality, and for his honour and esteem with the king,) was the king’ s friend. The king’ s friend; either his special favourite, both for his father’ s sake and for his own, having, it seems, been brought up with him; or his confidant, with whom he used to communicate his most secret counsels.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 4:5
1 Kings 4:5 And Azariah the son of Nathan [was] over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan [was] principal officer, [and] the king’ s friend:Ver. 5. And Azariah the son of Nathan, &c.] These two had been Solomon’ s fellow pupils, his play fellows, likely, and sons to his tutor, Nathan the prophet, who had done much for him, and for whom he could never do enough. Our king Edward VI did much for his tutor, Mr Cheek, and Queen Elizabeth for Dr Cox, upon whom she conferred many church dignities and real favours.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 4:5
(5) Son of Nathan.—Probably Nathan, son of David, and own brother of Solomon (1 Chronicles 3:5), is here intended; for the title Cohen, here given to Zabud, is expressly ascribed in 2 Samuel 8:18 to the “sons of David;” and Nathan the prophet always has his title, “the prophet,” appended to his name wherever first mentioned in this book. (See 1 Kings 1:8; 1 Kings 1:10; 1 Kings 1:22; 1 Kings 1:32, &c.) Azariah is the “chief of the officers”—that is, chief over the twelve officers mentioned below (1 Kings 4:7-19)—living, however, at Court. Zabud, besides the title of Cohen, has that of “the king’s friend,” previously given to Hushai (2 Samuel 15:37; 2 Samuel 16:16), and apparently indicating special intimacy and wisdom as a “privy counsellor.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Kings 4:5
Verse 5. Azariah - was over the officers] He had the superintendence of the twelve officers mentioned below; see 1Kg 4:7. Zabud - was principal officer] Perhaps what we call premier, or prime minister. The king's friend] His chief favourite - his confidant.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 4:5
5. the officers] The word signifies such persons as had the oversight of any work. Thus the same word is used for the victualling officers in 1 Kings 4:7; it is again used in 1 Kings 5:16 for the persons at the head of the preparation for the temple-building, and in 1 Kings 9:23 of those who bare rule over the people that wrought in such works as the building of cities which is there described. principal officer] The Hebrew word is cohen, usually = ‘priest,’ but see on 1 Kings 4:2. the king’s friend] This means a chief and intimate counsellor. It is applied to Hushai (2 Samuel 15:37; 2 Samuel 16:16) and from the relation in which Hushai stood to David we may see what is implied in the title.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Kings 4:5
The son of Nathan - It is uncertain whether the Nathan of this verse is the prophet or the son of David 2 Samuel 5:14.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 4:5
5. Son of Nathan — This Nathan may have been either the prophet or son of David mentioned 2 Samuel 5:14. Over the officers — That is, the twelve officers mentioned in 1 Kings 4:7.
