Shebna

Shebna was the royal steward in the reign of king Hezekiah of Judah, according to the Hebrew Bible. Quotes about Thus says the Lord God of hosts: / “Go, proceed to this steward, / To Shebna, who is over the house, and say: / ‘What have you here, and whom have you here, / That you have hewn a sepulcher here, / As he who hews himself a sepulcher on high, / Who carves a tomb for himself in a rock? / Indeed, the Lord will throw you away violently, / O mighty man, / And will surely seize you. / He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball / Into a large country; / There you shall die, and there your glorious chariots / Shall be the shame of your master’s house. / So I will drive you out of your office, / And from your position he will pull you down. / ‘Then it shall be in that day, / That I will call My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah; / I will clothe him with your robe / And strengthen him with your belt; / I will commit your responsibility into his hand. / He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem / And to the house of Judah.
