NASB Translation Arza (1). Brown-Driver-Briggs אַרְצָא proper name, masculine chamberlain of Zimri 1 Kings 16:9. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֶרֶץ (erets), meaning "land" or "earth."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun Artsa, Strong's Greek Number G1252 (διακρίνω, diakrinō) can be considered in terms of its thematic connection to roles of judgment or discernment, which might be relevant to the administrative duties of a household overseer. However, this connection is more conceptual than lexical, as G1252 primarily deals with the act of distinguishing or discerning, rather than a direct translation of a name or title. Usage: The name Artsa appears in the context of a specific individual in the Old Testament. It is used as a proper noun to identify a person. Context: • Artsa is mentioned in 1 Kings 4:6, where he is identified as an official in the court of King Solomon. Specifically, Artsa is described as being "over the household," indicating a position of significant responsibility and authority within the royal administration. This role would have involved managing the affairs of the king's household, overseeing domestic staff, and ensuring the smooth operation of the royal residence. The mention of Artsa in this context highlights the organized and hierarchical nature of Solomon's court, reflecting the administrative sophistication of his reign. The name itself, derived from the word for "land" or "earth," may suggest a connection to the land or a role in managing the king's estates, although the text does not provide explicit details beyond his official capacity.
