| Notes |
- Personal name meaning, hasting. The name could represent copying transposition from an original Shuah. This would designate his family as from Shuhu, the Syrian state in the central Euphrates region or a state in Edom or Arabia. The clan became a part of Israel as a clan of the tribe of Benjamin living in Archi southwest of Bethel (Josh 16:2). Hushai was David’s friend (2 Sam 15:37), probably referring to an official government post as in Egypt, a close personal adviser somewhat like the secretary of state. As David escaped, leaving Jerusalem to his son Absalom, Hushai joined him, mourning (2 Sam 15:32). David sent him back to deceive Absalom (2 Sam 15:34; 16:16-19). His counsel to Absalom bought time for David to establish new headquarters and gather forces for new strategy (2 Sam 17).
Solomon’s commissioner in charge of collecting royal provisions in Asher was the son of Hushai, perhaps the same as David’s friend (1 Kin 4:16).
