'Rank' in the Bible

Of the three in the second rank he was the most honored and became their commander; however, he did not attain to the first three.

and with them their relatives of the second rank, Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom and Jeiel, the gatekeepers.

Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;In the balances they go up;They are together lighter than breath.

John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’”

This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’
