DUKE. KJV rendering of אַלּוּפ֮, H477, and once (Josh 13:21) of נָשִׂיא֒, H5954. “prince.” אַלּוּפ֮, H477, is related to the word for thousand אֶ֫לֶפ֮, H547, and means “leader of an elep, chiliarch,” although the precise number is not to be stressed. It is commonly applied to the tribal chiefs of Edom until the time of Moses (Exod 15:15). Genesis 36 contains an enumeration of several of these chiefs. The chiefs of Judah are referred to by Zechariah (9:7; 12:5, 6). Ugaritic ulp means “prince, chief.” The RSV renders στρατηγός, G5130, as “general” in 1 Maccabees 10:65 where the KJV has “duke.”
