AMBASSADOR - A>@ - a person of high rank employed by a government to represent it and transact its business at the seat of government of some other power. The earliest examples of ambassadors employed occur in kjv@Numbers:20:14 kjv@Numbers:21:21; kjv@Judges:11:7-19) afterwards in that of the fraudulent Gibeonites, kjv@Joshua:9:4) etc., and in the instances of civic strife mentioned kjv@Judges:11:12) and Judg 20:12 Ambassadors are found to have been employed not only on occasions of hostile challenge or insolent menace, (Kings:20:2,6; kjv@2Kings:14:8) but of friendly compliment, of request for alliance or other aid, of submissive deprecation and of curious inquiry. ( kjv@2Kings:14:8 kjv@2Kings:16:7 kjv@2Kings:18:14 ; kjv@2Chronicles:32:31) Ministers are called ambassadors of Christ.

Ambassador @ In the Old Testament the Hebrew word tsir, meaning "one who goes on an errand," is rendered thus kjv@Joshua:9:4; kjv@Proverbs:13:17; kjv@Isaiah:18:2; kjv@Jeremiah:49:14; kjv@Obadiah:1:1). This is also the rendering of melits, meaning "an interpreter," in kjv@2Chronicals:32:31; and of malak, a "messenger," in kjv@2Chronicals:35:21; kjv@Isaiah:30:4 kjv@Isaiah:33:7; kjv@Ezekiel:17:15. This is the name used by the apostle as designating those who are appointed by God to declare his will ( kjv@2Corinthians:5:20; kjv@Ephesians:6:20). The Hebrews on various occasions and for various purposes had recourse to the services of ambassadors, e.g., to contract alliances kjv@Joshua:9:4), to solicit favours kjv@Numbers:20:14), to remonstrate when wrong was done kjv@Judges:11:12), to condole with a young king on the death of his father ( kjv@2Samuel:10:2), and to congratulate a king on his accession to the throne (kjvKings:5:1). To do injury to an ambassador was to insult the king who sent him ( kjv@2Samuel:10:5).
