Re'gem-me'lech. (friend of the king). The names of Sherezer and Regem-melech occur in an obscure passage of Zechariah. Zec_7:2. They were sent on behalf of some of the captivity, to make inquiries at the Temple concerning fasting. (B.C. 617).

rē?gem-mē?lek, rē?gem-mel?ek (רגם מלך, reghem melekh): One of a deputation sent to inquire concerning the propriety of continuing the commemoration of the destruction of the temple by holding a fast (Zec_7:2). The text of the passage is in disorder. The name may mean ?friend of the king?; hence, some have sought to remove the difficulty by interpreting reghem melekh as a title, not a personal name, reading the clause, ?They of Beth-el had sent SHAREZER (q.v. (2)), the friend of the king.?

Regem-melech
(Heb. Re'gem Me'lek, רֶגֶם מֶלֶךְfriend of the king; Sept. Α᾿ρβεσεὲρ [v. r. Α᾿ρβεσεσὲρ) ὁ βασιλεύς; Vilg. Rogommelech), the name of a person who, in connection with Sherezer, was sent on behalf of some of the captivity to make inquiries at the Temple concerning fasting (Zec_7:2). B.C. cir. 517. In the A.V. the subject of the verse appears to be the captive Jews in Babylon and Bethel, or the house of God is regarded as the accusative after the verb of motion. The Sept. takes the king as the nominative to the verb sent, considering the last part of the name Regem-melech as an appellative, and not as a proper name. What reading the Sept. had it is difficult to conjecture. In the Vulgate, Sherezer, Regem- melech, and their men are the persons who sent to the house of God. The Peshito-Syriac has a curious version of the passage: And he sent to Bethel, to Sherezer and Rab-mag; and the king sent and his men to pray for him before the Lord; Sharezer and Rab-mag being associated in Jer_39:3; Jer_39:13. The Hexaplar-Syriac, following the Peshito, has Rab-mag. On referring to Zec_7:5, the expression the people of the land seems to indicate that those who sent to the Temple were not the captive Jews in Babylon, but those who had returned to their own country; and this being the case, it is probable that in Zec_7:2 Bethel is to be taken as the subject: and Bethel, i.e. the inhabitants of Bethel, sent. From its connection with Sherezer, the name Regem-melech (lit. king's friend, comp. 1Ch_27:33) was probably an Assyrian title of office. SEE RAB-MAG
