Fausset's Bible Dictionary
Son of Nathan (1Ki_4:5). Priest (kohen, KJV "principal officer") and "king's friend" to Solomon, i.e. privy councillor, i.e. confidential adviser, of the king.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE)
zā´bud (זבוּד, zābhūdh, “bestowed”):
- 1. A son of Nathan (the prophet, probably) said in Kings to be chief minister to Solomon and also the king's friend (1Ki_4:5; 1Ch_2:36). The American Revised Version margin has “priest” for “chief minister.” Benzinger (Kurz. Hand-Commentary, 18) holds that “this expression is a marginal gloss here,” while Kittel (Handkomm., 31) holds it to be genuine, though it is wanting in the Septuagint. Some suggest סכן, ṣōkhēn (see SHEBNA) for כּהן, kōhēn. The expression “king's friend” (compare 2Sa_15:37; 2Sa_16:16) is, says Kittel, an old Canaanite title, found also in the Tell el-Amarna Letters.
- 2. See ZACCUR, (4); PRIESTS AND LEVITES.
