Adoniyahu, the Chief Minister

A 2,600-year-old seal inscribed with the name of "Adenyahu Asher Al HaBayit," meaning apparently  "Adenyahu by Appointment of the House," was uncovered in dirt excavated in 2013 near the Western Wall.  The owner of the seal was a high functionary of the Court of King Solomon. I think that the meaning of "Of the House" is  something like "Adoniyahu from the Government".
