'Dignitaries' in the Bible

binding their kings with chainsand their dignitaries with iron shackles,

Therefore My people will go into exilebecause they lack knowledge;her dignitaries are starving,and her masses are parched with thirst.

Therefore Sheol enlarges its throatand opens wide its enormous jaws,and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,her crowds, and those who carouse in her!

ז ZayinHer dignitaries were brighter than snow,whiter than milk;their bodies were more ruddy than coral,their appearance like sapphire.

Yet she became an exile;she went into captivity.Her children were also dashed to piecesat the head of every street.They cast lots for her dignitaries,and all her nobles were bound in chains.
