Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for Regem-Melek, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of a "friend of the king" can be related to Greek terms for friendship or royal association, though these would not be direct translations of the name itself.

Usage: This proper noun is used as a personal name in the genealogical records of the Bible.

Context: Regem-Melek is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the descendants of Zerubbabel, a leader of the Jewish people who returned from the Babylonian exile. Specifically, Regem-Melek is listed as one of the sons of Zerubbabel. The name appears in 1 Chronicles 3:18, which provides a record of the lineage of the Davidic line post-exile. The name "Regem-Melek" reflects a possible position of honor or close association with royalty, as suggested by the meaning "Friend of the king." This name is part of the broader context of the restoration of the Jewish community and the re-establishment of the Davidic line after the Babylonian captivity.
