The office was one of consider ble importance in oriental courts, because of the danger to the king's life through plots of poison, etc. Nehemiah held this position to King Artaxerxes. [[Wealthy]] courts, as that of Solomon, usually had more than one ( 1 Kings 10:5 ); over these cupbearers or butlers was the <i> ''''' sar ha ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' mash ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' ḳı̄m ''''' </i> , or chief butler ( Genesis 40:9 ). </p> | ||

<p> an honorable officer in the household of Pharaoh, king of | <p> an honorable officer in the household of Pharaoh, king of Egypt ( Genesis 40:1; Genesis 40:13). The original word '''''מִשְׁקֶה''''' , ''Mashkeh','' properly signifies ''Cup-Bearer,'' as it is elsewhere translated ( 1 Kings 10:5; 2 Chronicles 9:4). The Sept. renders it '''''Ἀρχιοινόχοος''''' , "chief wine-pourer," implying him who had the charge of the rest, which, as appears from 2 Chronicles 9:2, is the true meaning. It was his duty to fill and bear the cup or drinking- vessel to the king. Nehemiah was cup-bearer (q.v.) to King [[Artaxerxes]] ( Nehemiah 1:11; Nehemiah 2:1). (See [[Banquet]]). </p> | ||
