An officer of the king of Persia, in Samaria, during the rebuilding of the temple; by an insidious letter to the king he procured an edict for the discontinuance of this work for a time, probably two years or more preceding 520 B.C., when it was resumed.<\/p>\n
(Heb. and Chald. Rechum’, , compassionate; Sept. , but in Neh 3:17 ), the name of five men.<\/p>\n
1. One of the children of the province who returned from the Babylonian captivity with Zerubbabel (Ezr 2:2). B.C. 536. In the parallel passage (Neh 7:7) he is called NEHUM.<\/p>\n
2. One of the priests who returned from Babylon at the same time (Neh 12:3). B.C. 536. In a subsequent verse (Neh 12:15) he seems to be called HARIM SEE HARIM (q.v.).<\/p>\n
3. A Persian officer in Samaria, joint author with Shimshai of a letter which turned Artaxerxes against the building-plans of the Jews (Ezra 4:8; 9, 17, 23). B.C. 535. He was perhaps a kind of lieutenant-governor of the province under the king of Persia, holding apparently the same office as Tatnai, who is described in Ezr 5:6 as taking part in a similar transaction, and is there called the governor on this side the river.’ The Chaldee title, , bel-te4m, literally lord of decree,’ is left untranslated in the Sept. and the Vulg. Beelteem; and the rendering chancellor’ in the A.V. appears to have been derived from Kimchi and others, who explain it, in consequence of its connection with scribe,’ by the Hebrew word which is usually rendered recorder.’ This appears to have been the view taken by the author of 1Es 2:25, , and by Josephus (Ant. 11:2, 1), . The former of these seems to be a gloss, for the Chaldee title is also represented by <\/p>\n
4. A Levite, son of Bani, and one of the builders of the wall of Jerusalem under Nehemiah (Neh 3:17). B.C. 445.<\/p>\n
5. One of the chief Israelites who signed the covenant with Nehemiah (Neh 10:25). B.C. 410.<\/p>\n

The chancellor, literally, lord of decree (beel teem), i.e. royal prefect; with others wrote to Artaxerxes (Pseudo Smerdis) to induce him to stop the building of the temple and city walls (Ezr 4:8-9; Ezr 4:17; Ezr 4:23).<\/p>\n REHUM.1.

See Harim, 2.<\/p>\n We meet with two of this name in Scripture, one a Levite, son of Beri, who returned from Babylon with the captives, Ezr 2:2-and another Rehum, the chancellor. See Ezr 4:9. The name is Syriac, and means friendly or merciful.<\/p>\n rehum (, rehum, or , rehum):<\/p>\n (1) One of the twelve heads of the Jewish community returning from captivity with Zerubbabel (Ezr 2:2; Neh 7:7 (by a copyist’s error Nehum); Neh 12:3; 1 Esdras 5:8, Roimus).<\/p>\n (2) A Persian officer of high rank (literally, master of judgment, taste, reason) who with others wrote a letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes (Ezr 4:8, Ezr 4:9, Ezr 4:17, Ezr 4:23).<\/p>\n (3) Son of Bani, a Levite, one of the wall-builders under Nehemiah (Neh 3:17).<\/p>\n (4) One of the signers of the covenant in Neh 10:25.<\/p>\n (5) In Neh 12:3 (omitted in the Septuagint) one Rehum is mentioned with those who went up with Zerubbabel.
