Ambassador:

a person of high rank employed by a government to represent it and transact its business at the seat of government of some other power. The earliest examples of ambassadors employed occur in Numbers 20:14; 21:21; Judges 11:7-19, afterwards in that of the fraudulent Gibeonites (Joshua 9:4 etc.) and in the instances of civic strife mentioned (Judges 11:12) and (Judges 20:12). Ambassadors are found to have been employed not only on occasions of hostile challenge or insolent menace (1 Kings 20:2; 20:6; 2 Kings 14:8). but of friendly compliment, of request for alliance or other aid, of submissive deprecation and of curious inquiry (2 Kings 14:8; 16:7; 18:14; 2 Chronicles 32:31). Ministers are called ambassadors of Christ.
