셉나((Shebnah) 는
Hezekiah (King of Judah) 의 신하였다. 그는 왕궁의 재물을 관리하던 자인데, 이를 소홀히 하며 자신의 무덤을 꾸미는데 더 힘을 쏟았다.
이에 하나님은 그를 질책하고 그의 동료 엘리아김에게
다윗의 열쇠 를 맡긴다고 하셨다.
15 The Lord, Yahweh of Armies says, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna , who is over the house, and say,
16 ‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”
17 Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
18 He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.
19 I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
20 It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah ,
21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem , and to the house of Judah .
22 I will lay the key of David ’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
그러나 그 뒤에도 그가 완전히 내쳐진 것은 아닌것으로 보이는데, 이후
Assyria 의
Rabshakeh 가 공격해왔을 때에 엘리아김과 함께 나아가서 이야기를 하고 그의 요구사항을 히스기야에게 전했다.
히스기야는 하나님께 기도하기 시작했고, 다시 하나님의 뜻을 묻기 위해 이사야에게 보내졌다.
Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah , who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder came out to him.
Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh , “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don’t speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah , who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh .
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
