Regem-Melech:

friend of the king, one of the two messengers sent by the exiled Jews to Jerusalem in the time of Darius (Zec 7:2) to make inquiries at the temple.

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Regem-Melech:

re'-gem-me'-lek, re'-gem-mel'-ek (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 (Zec 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 (2) ( which see), the friend of the king."
