Ancient Near East Titles of Nobility

I like these!

I was asking because the titles I remember from the (Hebrew) Old Testament are quite general in nature; this has to do with the simpler (compared to the later empires and feudal kingdoms) nature of Levant society during most of the Biblical Era.

King: Melekh
Queen: Malkah

Note that any sovereign ruler can be called a “Melekh” in the old testament, from tribal chiefs, through the rulers of the various Canaanite city-states to the Pharaoh (“Melekh Mitsrayim”) and even the Persian King of Kings (“Melech Ha’Melachim” or simply “Melech Paras” - King of Persia).

Lord: Sar (this can also mean Vizier; in modern Hebrew this means Minister)

Another world for lord: Adon (the Hebrew God - The Lord - is called “Adonai”)

Commander: Sar Tsava

Judge: Shofet (this could also mean various semi-formal leaders of multiple tribes, sometimes a military leader as well; rarely hereditary)

Priest: Cohen (in Judaism this is a hereditary title, and was so long before there were kings; a person with a “Cohen” last name is technically a priest even today, though you can be a Rabbi without being a Cohen, and the title means relatively little as the Temple is still not rebuilt).

There is also Seren, which is a Philistine ruler.
