Sabud was the son of the prophet Nathan and served as a priest and personal advisor to King Solomon. He held the honorable title 'king's friend', which was an important official position at the court of the united kingdom.
Sabud was the son of the well-known prophet Nathan, who had served as an advisor to King David and played a crucial role in Solomon's accession to the throne.
Sabud held the official title 'king's friend', which was a significant political and advisory position at the court during the united kingdom of Israel.
11Then Nathan said to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, "Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David knows nothing about it?
13Go in to King David and say to him, 'My lord the king, did you not swear to your servant, "Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?'
25For today he has gone down and sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep. He has invited all the king's sons, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest, and right now they are eating and drinking in his presence and shouting, 'Long live King Adonijah!'
