Geber. [Ge'ber]


1 . Father of one of Solomon's commissariat officers in Ramoth- gilead. 1 Kings 4: 13.


2. Son of Uri, another like officer in Gilead. 1 Kings 4: 19. At the end of this verse the A.V. reads "He was the only officer which was in the land." This does not seem to agree with 1 Kings 4: 13, 14, for those mentioned therein were also on the east of the Jordan. The Hebrew word for 'officer' in 1 Kings 4: 19, though a kindred word, is not the same as in 1 Kings 4: 7 and 27, and may be translated 'superintendent.'
