MARSHAL. Not found in the KJV, but the ASV and RSV represent two Heb. words: 1. סֹפֵֽר (Judg 5:14). The duty of the marshal was to muster soldiers for a military campaign; and later, to keep a register of available names for military service (2 Kings 25:19 ASV CAPTAIN; Jer 52:25 OFFICER; 2 Chron 26:11 CAPTAIN).

2. טִפְסָ֔ר. This denotes a military officer of high rank (Jer 51:27 KJV CAPTAIN; Nahum 3:17 KJV CAPTAIN).
