In the context of the Scriptures, Shisha is known as the father of Elihoreph and Ahijah, who served as scribes during the reign of King Solomon.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, scribes held an important role in the administration of the kingdom. They were responsible for recording official documents, maintaining records, and sometimes advising the king. The mention of Shisha as the father of two scribes under Solomon highlights the significance of his family in the royal court. This period was marked by Solomon's extensive building projects and the establishment of a centralized government, which required skilled administrators and record-keepers.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/7893.htm">shayish</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>father of Solomon's scribes<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Shisha (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שִׁישָׁא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Solomon's time</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4-3.htm">1 Kings 4:3</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σαβα</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σεισα</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σαφατ</font>;
