Zabud, an officer of Solomon (1 Kings 4:5); the name means 'bestowed' or 'endowed'
Zabud appears in the administrative list of Solomon's officials as a priest and 'the king's friend,' a title suggesting special advisory status. The name derives from the root meaning 'bestow' or 'endow,' suggesting perhaps that he was seen as a gift. First Kings 4 catalogs Solomon's bureaucratic apparatus at the height of his power, and Zabud's dual role as priest and royal confidant reflects the integration of religious and political authority in the united monarchy.
Senses
1. sense 1 — All translations simply add 'and' to the transliteration: Spanish 'y-Zabud,' English 'and-Zabud,' French 'et-Zabud,' German 'und-Zabud.' The coordination reflects the list structure of 1 Kings 4. Zabud's designation as 'the king's friend' is significant—a technical term for a trusted advisor, appearing elsewhere in ancient Near Eastern courts. His presence in this list marks him as part of Solomon's inner circle during Israel's golden age. 1×
