Rab'shakeh. (chief cupbearer). 2 Kings 19:1; Isaiah 36:1; Isaiah 37:1. One of the officers of the king of Assyria, sent against Jerusalem, in the reign of Hezekiah. See Hezekiah. (B.C. 713). The English version takes Rabshakeh as the name of a person; but it is, more probably, the name of the office which he held at the court, that of chief cupbearer.
