Exegesis
The second unit parallels this structure with viYehoshafat {וִיהוֹשָׁפָ֥ט | wî-yĕ-hō-šā-p̄āṭ} ‘and Jehoshaphat’, followed by the construct ben Achilud {בֶּן־אֲחִיל֖וּד | ben-ʾa-ḥî-lûd} ‘son of Ahilud’ and the predicate participle hamazkir {הַמַּזְכִּיר | ham-ma-zkîr} ‘the recorder’. The definite articles in hammas and hamazkir mark institutional titles, while the construct chain ben Achilud conveys genealogical identification. The nominal hiphil participle hamazkir indicates an ongoing administrative function rather than a one-time appointment.
In context — 2 Samuel 20:24
And Adoram was over the forced labor , and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder .
