GOVERNOR - G>@ - In the Authorized Version this one English word is the representative of no less than ten Hebrew and four Greek words. The chief of a tribe or family. A ruler in his capacity of lawgiver and dispenser of justice. A ruler consider especially as having power over the property and persons of his subjects. kjv@Genesis:24:2; kjv@Joshua:12:2; kjv@Psalms:100:20) The "governors of the people," in ( kjv@2Chronicles:23:20) appear to have been the king’s body-guard; cf. ( kjv@2Kings:11:19) A prominent personage, whatever his capacity. It is applied to a king as the military and civil chief of his people, (2 Samuel kjv@5:2; 6:21; kjv@1Chronicles:29:22) to the general of an army, ( kjv@2Chronicles:32:21) and to the head of a tribe. ( kjv@2Chronicles:19:11) It denotes an officer of high rank in the palace, the lord high chamberlain. ( kjv@2Chronicles:28:7) It is applied in (Kings:10:15) to the petty chieftains who were tributary to Solomon, ( kjv@2Chronicles:9:14) to the military commander of the Syrians, (Kings:20:24) the Assyrians, ( kjv@2Kings:18:24 kjv@2Kings:23:8) the Chaldeans, kjv@Jeremiah:51:23) and the Medes. kjv@Jeremiah:51:38) Under the Persian viceroys, during the Babylonian captivity, the land of the Hebrews appears to have been portioned out among "governors" (pachoth) inferior in rank to the satraps, kjv@Ezra:8:30) like the other provinces which were under the dominion of the Persian king. kjv@Nehemiah:2:7-9) It is impossible to determine the precise limits of their authority or the functions which they had to perform. It appears from kjv@Ezra:6:8) that these governors were intrusted with the collection of the king’s taxes; and from kjv@Nehemiah:5:18 kjv@Nehemiah:12:26) that they were supported by a contribution levied upon the people, which was technically termed "the bread of the governor" comp. kjv@Ezra:4:14) They were probably assisted in discharging their official duties by A council. kjv@Ezra:4:7 kjv@Ezra:6:6) The "governor" beyond the river had a judgment-seat beyond Jerusalem, from which probably he administered justice when making a progress through his province. kjv@Nehemiah:3:7) At the time of Christ Judea was a Roman province, governed by a procurator (governor) appointed by Rome.
