One must assume either (1) that the word “priest” ( כֹּהֵן , kohen ) during this period of time could be used in a broader sense of “chief ruler” (KJV); “chief minister” (ASV, NASB), or “royal adviser” (NIV), perhaps based on the parallel passage in 1 Chr 18:17 which has “the king’s leading officials”, or (2) that in David’s day members of the king’s family could function as a special category of “priests” (cf. NLT “priestly leaders”). The latter option seems to be the more straightforward way of understanding the word in 2 Sam 8:18 .","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/2%20Samuel%208%3A18/2"}
