It is used to describe people who hold positions of authority and influence, typically within a royal court or governing body.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, particularly within the Persian Empire, the term "partemim" would have been used to denote members of the aristocracy or those who served in significant roles under the king. These individuals were often entrusted with governance, military leadership, or advisory positions. The use of a Persian-derived term in the Hebrew Bible reflects the historical context of the Jewish people during the Persian period, particularly after the Babylonian exile when they were under Persian rule.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>nobles<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>noble (1), nobles (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַּרְתְּמִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>nobles</b></font> (loan-word from Old Persian <i><em>fratama</em></i>, <em>first</em>, Spieg<sup>APK 232</sup>, compare Sanskrit <i><em>prathama;</em></i> Lag<sup>Arm.
