Reference: Geber

Hastings

One of Solomon's twelve commissariat officers, whose district lay to the E. of Jordan. At the end of 1Ki 4:19 comes a sentence referred by AV and RV to this Geber, and rendered 'and he was 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.'
