 Shebna
    tender youth, "treasurer" over the house in the reign of
    Hezekiah, i.e., comptroller or governor of the palace. On
    account of his pride he was ejected from his office, and Eliakim
    was promoted to it (Isa. 22:15-25). He appears to have been the
    leader of the party who favoured an alliance with Egypt against
    Assyria. It is conjectured that "Shebna the scribe," who was one
    of those whom the king sent to confer with the Assyrian
    ambassador (2 Kings 18:18, 26, 37; 19:2; Isa. 36:3, 11, 22;
    37:2), was a different person.
