'Governor' in the Bible

Geber the son of Uri [was] in the land of Gilead, the land of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, and of Og, the king of Bashan; one governor which [was] over the land.

Do this thing: remove the kings each from his post, and put a governor in their place.

There was not a king in Edom; a governor [served] as king.
