However, the concept of foreign officials or leaders can be found in various Greek terms related to governance and authority in the Septuagint and New Testament. Usage: The name Sarsekim appears in the context of the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem, specifically in the book of Jeremiah. Context: Sarsekim is mentioned in the book of Jeremiah 39:3, where he is listed among the officials of the king of Babylon who entered Jerusalem after its capture. The verse reads: "Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer the Rab-mag, and all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon." (Jeremiah 39:3, BSB). The title "Rab-saris" indicates a high-ranking position, possibly chief of the eunuchs or a similar role within the Babylonian administration. The presence of Sarsekim in this list underscores the importance of the event, marking the fulfillment of prophetic warnings about the fall of Jerusalem due to the people's disobedience.
