Prince. The only special uses of the word "prince" are - "Princes of provinces," 1 Kings 20:14, who were probably local governors or magistrates. The "princes" mentioned in Daniel 6:1, (see Esther 1:1, were the predecessors of the satraps of Darius Hystaspes. The word "princess" is seldom used in the Bible, but the persons to which it alludes - "daughters of kings" are frequently mentioned.
