Who he was

Zabud was the son of Nathan, who was likely the prophet and advisor to King David. Zabud held a significant position in the court of King Solomon, serving both as a priest and as the king's friend. His dual role as a religious leader and a trusted companion to the king highlights the close relationship between the monarchy and the priesthood in ancient Israel. Zabud's presence in the king's inner circle suggests he provided spiritual guidance and counsel to Solomon throughout his reign.
