The word also occurs in Jeremiah 14:3, "And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads." and Jeremiah 30:21, "And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord."
- In 2 Chronicles 23:20, 'addir is paralleled to "captains and governors"; "And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the Lord: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom."
- The word is applied to the Messiah; the Messiah is none other than God Himself; Isaiah 33:21, "But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby."
Syn: Addiyr stresses the might of the person whereas Chor (2715) stresses rank.
