the title generally applied to the chief men of the state. The "princes of the provinces" (1Ki 20:14) were the governors or lord-lieutenants of the provinces. So also the "princes" mentioned in Da 6:1,3-4,6-7 were the officers who administered the affairs of the provinces; the "satraps" (as rendered in R.V.). These are also called "lieutenants" (Es 3:12; 8:9; R.V., "satraps"). The promised Saviour is called by Daniel (Da 9:25) "Messiah the Prince" (Heb nagid); compare Ac 3:15; 5:31. The angel Micheal is called (Da 12:1) a "prince" (Heb sar, whence "Sarah," the "princes").
