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