a confidential servant of the king (Ge 37:36; 39:1). In Ro 16:23 mention is made of "Erastus the chamberlain." Here the word denotes the treasurer of the city, or the quaestor, as the Romans styled him. He is almost the only convert from the higher ranks of whom mention is made (comp. Ac 17:34). Blastus, Herod's "chamberlain" (Ac 12:20), was his personal attendant or valet-de-chambre. The Hebrew word saris, thus translated in Es 1:10,15; 2:3,14,21, etc., properly means an eunuch (as in the marg.), as it is rendered in Isa 39:7; 56:3.

Smith
Chamberlain,
an officer attached to the court of a king, who formerly had charge of the private apartments or chambers of the palace. He kept the accounts of the public revenues. The office held by Blastus, "the king's chamberlain," was entirely different from this.
It was a post of honor which involved great intimacy and influence with the king. For chamberlain as used in the Old Testament, see [EUNUCH]
