Zabud

Zabud was the son of Nathan and principal officer, the king's friend under Solomon (1 Kings 4:5). He held a special position of personal companionship with the king — king's friend was a recognized court title in ancient Near Eastern royal administrations, denoting an intimate counselor with direct access to the king. Zabud was likely the son of the prophet Nathan who served David, making him a trusted figure in the Davidic royal household. He appears only in this brief administrative list and is not mentioned elsewhere.
