Rabsaris
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Rabsaris (Hebrew: רַב-סָרִיס, Modern [{{{2}}}] Error: {{Transl}}: unrecognized transliteration standard: (help), Tiberian {{{3}}}), possibly means "Chief of officers," is the name or title of two individuals mentioned in the Bible.
- Rabasaris (in the D-R and the Vulgate; Greek: Ραφις)[1] — One of the three officers whom the King of Assyria (Sennacherib) sent from Lachish with a threatening message to Jerusalem (2 Kings 18:17).
- Rabsares (in the D-R and the Vulgate)[2] A prince of Nebuchadnezzar (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.
