B-Hebrew haberim:

1 Samuel 8:18 has puzzled me for years, as it seems=20
to say that David, a man after God's own heart, was=20
violating God's command that the priesthood be=20
limited to the descendants of Aaron and conferring=20
it to his sons. Even the pointing indicates that=20
reading.

I don't think this reading is right.

The LXX gives a reading that, from parsing the=20
word, seems to say that David's sons were in charge=20
of accounting or something like that.

Are there any variant readings that would indicate=20
a different meaning?

Could a different set of dots give the meaning that=20
David's sons became as those in charge of the=20
resources, i.e. accounting the wealth of the booty=20
and country?

Any thoughts?

Karl W. Randolph.
