SHEBNA (in 2 Kings 18:18; 2 Kings 18:26 SHEBNAH ). A major-domo or palace-governor of king Hezekiah, against whom is directed one of the recorded utterances of Isaiah ( Isaiah 22:15-25 ). The prophetic denunciation appears to have found its fulfilment in Shebna’s degradation to the office of ‘scribe’ or secretary, and the elevation of Eliakim (wh. see) to the post of palace-governor ( 2 Kings 18:18; 2 Kings 18:26-27; 2 Kings 19:2 = Isaiah 36:3; Isaiah 36:11; Isaiah 37:2 ). Shebna was in all probability a foreigner.
