Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - Rehum the chancellor. Literally, "the lord of judgment." It may be conjectured that Rehum was the sub-satrap (ὑποσατράπης, Xen.), of the province of Samaria. And Shimshai the scribe. Or "secretary." Herodotus tells us that in every Persian province the governor had a secretary attached to him, who was appointed by the crown, and acted as a check upon his nominal master (Herod., 3:128). The position assigned to Shim-shai in this chapter (see especially vers. 9, 17, 23) is such as might be expected under these circumstances.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Rehum the chancellor.--The lord of judgment, the counsellor of the Persian king, a conventional title of the civil governor.Shimshai the scribe--The royal secretary.
