I Chronicles 27:26 And over the tillage, and the husbandmen, who tilled the ground, was Ezri, the son of Chelub:

Ground, for the king. This was done at the expense of the nation, and by the people, no less than the vintage, 2 Kings 8:12. The companions of Daniel were thus appointed to superintend the workmen of Nabuchodonosor, Daniel 2:49. Xenophon (Cyrop. viii.) styles such, ergon epistatas, "men set over the works." (Haydock)
