Cup-Bearer:
an officer of high rank with Egyptian, Persian, Assyrian, and Jewish monarchs. The cup-bearer of the king of Egypt is mentioned in connection with Joseph's history (Gen 40:1-21; 41:9). Rabshakeh (q.v.) was cup-bearer in the Assyrian court (2Ki 18:17). Nehemiah filled this office to the king of Persia (Neh 1:11). We read also of Solomon's cup-bearers (1Ki 10:5; 2Ch 9:4).

Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
