Regem-Melech [1]
rē´gem - mē´lek , rē´gem - mel´ek ( רגם מלך , reghem melekh ): One of a deputation sent to inquire concerning the propriety of continuing the commemoration of the destruction of the temple by holding a fast ( Zechariah 7:2 ). The text of the passage is in disorder. The name may mean "friend of the king"; hence, some have sought to remove the difficulty by interpreting reghem melekh as a title, not a personal name, reading the clause, "They of Beth-el had sent Sharezer (q.v. (2)), the friend of the king."
