Rabsaris

Rabsaris

Rabsaris (possibly "Chief of officers") is the name or title of two individuals mentioned in the Bible:

* One of the three officers whom the King of Assyria (Sennacherib) sent from Lachish with a threatening message to Jerusalem ( [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Kings%2018:17 2 Kings 18:17] )

* A prince of Nebuchadnezzar ( [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2039:3,13 Jeremiah 39:3,13] ). While originally translated to be the name of the persons it referred to, "Rabsaris" is now thought to be the name of an office or rank, not an individual [Smith, William, Dr "Definition for 'Rabsaris' Smiths Bible Dictionary". [http://www.bible-history.com/smiths/R/Rabsaris/ www.bible-history.com] - Smiths; 1901.] .
