Smith's Bible Dictionary
Regemmelech(friend of the king). The names of Sherezer and Regem-melech occur in an obscure passage of Zechariah. (Zechariah 7:2) They were sent on behalf of some of the captivity to make inquiries at the temple concerning fasting (B.C. 617.)
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
REGEM-MELECHre'-gem-me'-lek, re'-gem-mel'-ek (reghem melekh): One of a deputation sent to inquire concerning the propriety of continuing the commemoration of the destruction of the temple by holding a fast (Zechariah 7:2). The text of the passage is in disorder. The name may mean "friend of the king"; hence, some have sought to remove the difficulty by interpreting reghem melekh as a title, not a personal name, reading the clause, "They of Beth-el had sent SHAREZER (q.v. (2)), the friend of the king."
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Friend of the king, one of the two messengers sent by the exiled Jews to Jerusalem in the time of Darius (
Zechariah 7:2) to make inquiries at the temple.
