Prince @ the title generally applied to the chief men of the state. The "princes of the provinces" (kjvKings:20:14) were the governors or lord-lieutenants of the provinces. So also the "princes" mentioned in Daniel:6:1-3, 4, 6, 7 were the officers who administered the affairs of the provinces; the "satraps" (as rendered in R.V.). These are also called "lieutenants" Esther:3:12Esther:8:9; R.V., "satraps"). The promised Saviour is called by Daniel (9:25) "Messiah the Prince" (Heb. nagid); compare Acts:3:15Acts:5:31. The angel Micheal is called Daniel:12:1) a "prince" (Heb. sar, whence "Sarah," the "princes").
