Rashi, on Neh 11:24

“And Phathahia the son of Mesezebel of the children of Zara the son of Juda was at the hand of the king, in all matters concerning the people,”

“at the king’s hand He was privy to King Darius’s counsel. for every matter for every matter that concerned the people, to speak to the king on their behalf.”
