  Vizier - LoveToKnow 1911
The office of vizier, which spread from the Arabs to the Persians, Turks, Mongols, and other Oriental peoples, arose under the first Abbasid caliphs (see Mahommedan Institutions, and Caliphate, C § I) and took shape during its tenure by the Barmecides.
The vizier stood between sovereign and subjects, representing the former in all matters touching the latter.
This withdrawal of the head of the state from direct contact with his people was unknown to the Omayyads, and was certainly an imitation of Persian usage; it has even been plausibly conjectured that the name is but the Arabic adaptation of a Persian title.

 Egypt: The Viziers of Ancient Egypt
During the 4th Dynasty, viziers were exclusively the sons of kings, but from the 5th Dynasty (2494-2345 BC) this was no longer true (for the most part).
Viziers heard all domestic territorial disputes, maintained a cattle and herd census, controlled the reservoirs and the food supply, supervised industries and conservation programs, and were required to repair all dikes.
But viziers, even though at times did elevate themselves to kingship, were probably most often selected not only for their skills, but because the king could trust them to carry out his will without the fear they might overthrow his rule.

 The vizierate   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This might of the viziers, dependent on their royal masters, waned during the First Intermediate Period, and the nomarchs exploited the weakness of the central government to extend their own power.
Powerful as the viziers were, they rarely supplanted kings, for reasons which may have been partly due to personal loyalty, to social and religious reasons, but certainly also to the balance of power which existed between civil service, priesthood and armed forces during normal times.
The vizier was head of most branches of civil government, but some officials had more independence than others, like the treasurer or the superintendent of the granaries, who were the vizier's colleagues rather than his subordinates.

 A BABYLONIAN PERSPECTIVE ON SENNACHERIB AND HIS GRAND VIZIER
One indication that I may be on the right track in attempting to merge the C12th BC king of Babylon, Nebuchednezzar I, with the C8th BC king of Assyria, Sennacherib, is that one finds during the reign of 'each' a vizier of such fame that he was to be remembered for centuries to come.
Whilst we have arrived at a variety of names for the vizier, they basically seem to contain a Babylonian theophoric, followed by a word similar to 'son' (ah or ahi), and a final element that varies.
All added up, this Nebuchednezzar I, the Assyrian conqueror of Babylon, makes a compelling 'Nebuchednezzar the Assyrian' of the Book of Judith, showing the latter drama to be correct in its most controversial detail: an Assyrian king with a Babylonian name.
