Strong's Lexicon Shebna or Shebnah: Shebna, Shebnah Original Word: שֶׁבְנָא Word Origin: Of uncertain derivation Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Shebna in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Shebna, also spelled Shebnah, is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to a high-ranking official in the court of King Hezekiah of Judah. The name is associated with a steward or treasurer, indicating a position of significant authority and responsibility. Cultural and Historical Background: Shebna served during the reign of King Hezekiah, a period marked by political turmoil and the threat of Assyrian invasion. As a steward, Shebna would have been responsible for managing the king's household and possibly overseeing the kingdom's finances. The role of a steward was crucial in maintaining the stability and prosperity of the royal court. However, Shebna's account is also a cautionary tale of pride and downfall, as he is rebuked by the prophet Isaiah for his arrogance and self-aggrandizement.
