Nethan-Melek—an official in Judah during King Josiah's reign, associated with temple horses dedicated to the sun
Nethan-Melek was an official or court eunuch in Judah during the reign of King Josiah. He is mentioned only in 2 Kings 23:11 in connection with Josiah's religious reforms, specifically regarding the removal of horses that previous kings had dedicated to the sun god. These horses were stationed at the entrance to the temple 'by the chamber of Nethan-Melek the official.' The name means something like 'Given of the King' or 'Gift of the King.' The Septuagint identifies him as a eunuch, suggesting he held a trusted position in the royal court.

1. sense 1 — This proper name identifies a royal official in Jerusalem during Josiah's reforms, appearing only in 2 Kings 23:11 (mentioned twice in the verse). His chamber at the temple entrance was associated with the horses dedicated to sun worship, which Josiah removed as part of his purification of Judah's religion. The multilingual glosses show some variation in handling the compound name: some treat it as two elements (Netan-Melek, Natán Melec), others as a single unit (Nethan-Melek), reflecting uncertainty about whether this is a personal name or a title. 2×
