Greetings Angelface, Here is some commentary on "Shebna".. "SHEBNA Steward of King Hezekiah’s palace, Isa 22:15, afterwards his secretary, 2Ki 18:18,37." (1) "SHEBNA tender youth, "treasurer" over the house in the reign of Hezekiah, i.e., comptroller or governor of the palace. On account of his pride he was ejected from his office, and Eliakim was promoted to it (Isa. 22:15-25). He appears to have been the leader of the party who favoured an alliance with Egypt against Assyria. It is conjectured that "Shebna the scribe," who was one of those whom the king sent to confer with the Assyrian ambassador (2 Kings 18:18, 26, 37; 19:2; Isa. 36:3, 11, 22; 37:2), was a different person." (2) "SHEBNA (vigor), a person of high position in Hezekiah’s court, holding at one time the office of prefect of the palace, (Isaiah 22:15) but subsequently the subordinate office of secretary. (Isaiah 36:3; 2 Kings 19:2) (B.C. 713.)" (3) Blessings to you, Makarios (1) American Tract Society Bible Dictionary (2) Easton's Bible Dictionary (3) Smith's Bible Dictionary |
