(mehl' zahr) KJV transliteration of what is likely an Assyrian loanword meaning “guard” (NIV), “overseer” (NAS), or “steward” (RSV) at Daniel 1:11 ,Daniel 1:11,1:16 . The KJV follows some early versions (Theodotian, Lucian, the Syriac, the Vulgate) in taking Melzar as a proper name. Modern translators point to the use of the article as evidence of a title.
