II Chronicles 26:11 And the army of his fighting men, that went out to war, was under the hand of Jehiel, the scribe, and Maasias, the doctor, and under the hand of Hananias, who was one of the king's captains.

Doctor. Hebrew shoter. Septuagint, "judge." Protestants, "ruler." (Haydock) --- The term is commonly understood of one who executes the sentence of the judge. But this employment does not suit a general, (Calmet) though such a one might well command. It many denote any "officer." (Haydock)
