These officials were often of noble birth and wielded significant power and influence, acting as the king's representatives in administrative and military matters.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Persian Empire, the satraps were crucial to maintaining control over the vast territories. The empire was divided into several provinces, each overseen by a satrap who collected taxes, ensured security, and implemented the king's decrees. This system allowed the Persian Empire to manage its extensive and diverse lands effectively. The role of the satrap was both administrative and military, as they were responsible for the defense of their provinces and could command local armies.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>satraps<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>satraps (4).<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">אֲחַשְׁדַּרְמְּנִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>satraps</b></font> (Persian <i><em>Khshatrapâvan</em></i>, <em>protectors of the realm</em>, see Spieg<sup>APK 215</sup> = <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ἐξατράπης</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">σατράπης</font>, compare Lag<sup>G.
