Strong's Lexicon chiliarchos: Commander, Captain, Tribune Original Word: χιλίαρχος Word Origin: From the Greek words χίλιοι (chilioi), meaning "thousand," and ἄρχων (archon), meaning "ruler" or "leader." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "chiliarchos," the concept of a military leader or captain can be found in terms like שַׂר (sar), meaning "prince" or "chief," often used for leaders or commanders in the Old Testament. Usage: The term "chiliarchos" refers to a military officer in charge of a thousand soldiers, commonly known as a "commander" or "tribune" in the Roman army. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a high-ranking officer who had significant authority and responsibility over a cohort of soldiers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Roman military system, a "chiliarchos" was a senior officer, often equivalent to a modern-day colonel or a high-ranking captain. The Roman army was highly organized, and the role of a chiliarchos was crucial for maintaining order and executing military strategies. These officers were often involved in both administrative and combat duties, and they played a key role in the Roman governance of occupied territories, including Judea during the time of the New Testament.
