Prince:
the title generally applied to the chief men of the state. The "princes of the provinces" (1Ki 20:14) were the governors or lord-lieutenants of the provinces. So also the "princes" mentioned in (Dan 6:1,3,4,6,7) were the officers who administered the affairs of the provinces; the "satraps" (as rendered in R.V.). These are also called "lieutenants" (Est 3:12; 8:9; R.V., "satraps"). The promised Saviour is called by Daniel (Dan 9:25) "Messiah the Prince" (Heb. nagid); compare (Act 3:15; 5:31). The angel Michael is called (Dan 12:1) a "prince" (Heb. sar, whence "Sarah," the "princes").
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. 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.
