kop´ẽr - smith ( χαλκεύς , chalkeús ): The word is found in New Testament once only, in 2 Timothy 4:14 : "Alexander the coppersmith did (margin "showed") me much evil." As the Bible word rendered "copper" (see Ezra 8:27 the King James Version) is translated "brass" by the Revised Version (British and American), so the word here rendered "c." should be rendered "brazier," or "worker in brass." See Copper .
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [6]
( Χαλκεύς , q. d. Brazier , from Χαλκός , Copper ), a worker in metals of any kind, a Smith (Hesych. s.v.); a sense in which the word is used in other Greek writings (Hom. Od. 9:391). Alexander, an opponent of Paul, is designated as being of this trade ( 2 Timothy 4:14). (See Mechanic).
