Chamberlain:

a confidential servant of the king (Gen 37:36; 39:1). In Rom. 16:23 mention is made of "Erastus the chamberlain." Here the word denotes the treasurer of the city, or the quaestor, as the Romans styled him. He is almost the only convert from the higher ranks of whom mention is made (Act 17:34). Blastus, Herod's "chamberlain" (Act 12:20), was his personal attendant or valet-de-chambre. The Hebrew word saris, thus translated in Est 1:10, 15; 2:3, 14, 21, etc., properly means an eunuch (as in the marg.), as it is rendered in Isa 39:7; 56:3.
