It is used to denote a high-ranking Assyrian military officer or commander. In the context of the Bible, it is associated with the Assyrian army, indicating a position of significant authority and responsibility.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the Tartan was a prominent military leader, often second in command to the king. The Assyrian Empire, known for its military prowess and expansionist policies, utilized such officers to lead campaigns and enforce the king's rule over conquered territories. The title reflects the structured and hierarchical nature of Assyrian military and administrative systems.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>general, commander (title of an Assyr. general)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>commander (1), Tartan (1).<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">תַּרְתָּן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>title of Assyrian General = field-marshal</b></font> (loan-word from Assyrian <i><em>tartânu</em></i>, <em>turtânu</em> Dl<sup>WB 716</sup> Tiele<sup>Geschichte. 495 f.</sup> Pinches<sup>Hast.
