The term is used throughout the Scriptures to describe leaders, officials, and those who possess significant wealth or power. Nobles are frequently mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments, playing crucial roles in the unfolding narrative of God's people. Old Testament References In the Old Testament, nobles are often associated with the governance and administration of Israel and surrounding nations. They are depicted as advisors to kings, leaders in battle, and figures of authority within the community. For instance, in the book of Exodus, the nobles of Israel are mentioned in the context of the covenant at Mount Sinai: "Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel" (<a href="/exodus/24-9.htm">Exodus 24:9-10</a>). Here, the elders, often considered nobles, are granted a unique experience of God's presence. The book of Nehemiah provides another example, where nobles are involved in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. <a href="/nehemiah/2-16.htm">Nehemiah 2:16</a> states, "The officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, for I had not yet told the Jews, priests, nobles, officials, or any others who would be doing the work." This passage highlights the role of nobles in the community's restoration efforts. Role and Responsibilities Nobles in biblical times were expected to uphold justice and righteousness, serving as examples to the people. <a href="/proverbs/8-16.htm">Proverbs 8:16</a> states, "By me princes rule, and all nobles who govern justly." This verse underscores the expectation that nobles govern with wisdom and integrity, aligning their leadership with divine principles. However, the Scriptures also warn against the corruption and failure of nobles. <a href="/isaiah/1-23.htm">Isaiah 1:23</a> criticizes the leaders of Jerusalem: "Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the fatherless, and the plea of the widow never comes before them." This admonition serves as a reminder of the potential for moral decay among those in power. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the concept of nobility is less frequently addressed, but the principles of leadership and authority remain relevant. Jesus' teachings often challenge the traditional notions of power and status, emphasizing servanthood and humility. In <a href="/mark/10-42.htm">Mark 10:42-44</a> , Jesus instructs His disciples: "You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them. But it shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant." The early church also grappled with issues of status and authority, as seen in the epistles. <a href="/james/2.htm">James 2:1-4</a> warns against favoritism based on social standing, urging believers to treat all individuals with equal respect and love. Conclusion Throughout the Bible, nobles are depicted as key figures in the social and political structures of their time. Their influence and responsibilities are significant, and their actions have profound implications for the communities they lead. The biblical narrative presents a complex view of nobility, acknowledging both the potential for righteous leadership and the dangers of corruption and injustice.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>NOBLE; NOBLES; NOBLEMANno'-b'-l, no'-b'-lz, no'-b'-l-man (chorim, 'addir; eugenes, Kratistos, basilikos): "Nobles" is the translation of the Hebrew chorim (occurring only in the plural), "free-born," "noble" (<a href="/1_kings/21-8.htm">1 Kings 21:8, 11</a> <a href="/nehemiah/2-16.htm">Nehemiah 2:16</a>; <a href="/nehemiah/6-17.htm">Nehemiah 6:17</a>, etc.); of 'addir, "begirded," "mighty," "illustrious" or "noble" (<a href="/judges/5-13.htm">Judges 5:13</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/23-20.htm">2 Chronicles 23:20</a>, etc.); of nadhibh, "liberal," "a noble" (<a href="/numbers/21-18.htm">Numbers 21:18</a> <a href="/proverbs/8-16.htm">Proverbs 8:16</a>, etc.). Other words are gadhol, "great" (<a href="/jonah/3-7.htm">Jonah 3:7</a>); yaqqir, Aramaic "precious" (<a href="/ezra/4-10.htm">Ezra 4:10</a>); naghidh, "a leader" (<a href="/job/29-10.htm">Job 29:10</a>); partemim, "foremost ones" (<a href="/esther/1-3.htm">Esther 1:3</a>; <a href="/esther/6-9.htm">Esther 6:9</a>); atsilim, "those near," "nobles" (<a href="/exodus/24-11.htm">Exodus 24:11</a>); bariah, "fugitive" (<a href="/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14</a>); kabhedh, "weighty," "honored" (<a href="/psalms/149-8.htm">Psalm 149:8</a>); eugenes, "wellborn" (<a href="/acts/17-11.htm">Acts 17:11</a> <a href="/1_corinthians/1-26.htm">1 Corinthians 1:26</a>); kratistos, "strongest," "most powerful" (<a href="/acts/24-3.htm">Acts 24:3</a>; <a href="/acts/26-25.htm">Acts 26:25</a>). The Apocrypha, the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American), still further enlarges the list. In the Revised Version (British and American) we have megistanes, "great ones" (1 Esdras 1:38; 8:26, with entimos, "in honor"; The Wisdom of Solomon 18:12). Otherwise the Revised Version's uses of "noble," and "nobleness" are for words containing the root genitive and referring to birth (compare The Wisdom of Solomon 8:3; 2 Maccabees 6:27, 31; 12:42; 14:42 twice). The King James Version's uses are wider (Judith 2:2, etc.). Nobleman is, in <a href="/luke/19-12.htm">Luke 19:12</a>, the translation of eugenes anthropos, "a man well born," and in <a href="/john/4-46.htm">John 4:46, 49</a> of basilikos, "kingly," "belonging to a king," a designation extended to the officers, courtiers, etc., of a king, the Revised Version margin "king's officer"; he was probably an official, civil or military, of Herod Antipas, who was styled "king" (basileus). For "nobles" (<a href="/isaiah/43-14.htm">Isaiah 43:14</a>), the King James Version "have brought down all their nobles," the Revised Version (British and American) has "I will bring down all of them as fugitives," margin "or, as otherwise read, all their nobles even," etc.; for "nobles" (<a href="/jeremiah/30-21.htm">Jeremiah 30:21</a>), "prince"; the English Revised Version has "worthies" for "nobles" (<a href="/nahum/3-18.htm">Nahum 3:18</a>); the Revised Version (British and American) has "the noble" for "princes" (<a href="/proverbs/17-26.htm">Proverbs 17:26</a>): "nobles" for "princes" (<a href="/job/34-18.htm">Job 34:18</a> <a href="/daniel/1-3.htm">Daniel 1:3</a>), for "Nazarites" (<a href="/lamentations/4-7.htm">Lamentations 4:7</a>, margin "Nazirites"); "her nobles" for "his fugitives," margin "or, as other otherwise read, fugitives" (<a href="/isaiah/15-5.htm">Isaiah 15:5</a>); the American Standard Revised Version has "noble" for "liberal" (<a href="/isaiah/32-5.htm">Isaiah 32:5</a>); for "The nobles held their peace," the King James Version margin "The voice of the nobles was hid" (<a href="/job/29-10.htm">Job 29:10</a>), the Revised Version (British and American) has "The voice of the nobles was hushed," margin "Hebrew: hid"; for "most noble" (<a href="/acts/24-3.htm">Acts 24:3</a>; <a href="/acts/26-25.htm">Acts 26:25</a>), "most excellent."
