Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Abiathar [was] over the household,.... Steward of the household:

and Adoniram the son of Abda [was] over the tribute, over those that collected the tribute, as the Targum, whether from the people of Israel or other nations, or both; this man was in the same post in David's time, 2 Samuel 20:24.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Over the household - Comptroller of the household, like the “Steward” of the Persian court. On the importance of this office, see 2 Kings 18:18, and compare Isaiah 22:15-25.

The tribute - The marginal reading, “levy,” is preferable. The reference is to the forced laborers whom Solomon employed in his great works (marginal reference).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 4:6. Ahishar was over the household — the king's chamberlain.

Adoniram - was over the tribute. — What we call chancellor of the exchequer. He received and brought into the treasury all the proceeds of taxes and tributes. He was in this office under David; see 2 Samuel 20:24.
