He didn't "have" to. It was considered a great honor to be a cupbearer to the king in his time.
Nehemiah, as he was the King's cupbearer
No, Isaiah was a prophet. You may be thinking of Nehemiah. He was a cup bearer to King Artaxerxes the Persian King where Nehemiah and his countrymen were in exile. See Nehemiah 2:1.
Nehemiah served as the cupbearer to King Artaxerxes. This role involved tasting and ensuring the safety of the king's food and drink to protect him from poisoning.
There ae two ways that I see, in which Nehemiah shows strength in chapter one. The first one is that he prayed and fasted to the Lord. The second way in which he showed strength (or power if that is what is meant), is that his position as cupbearer for the king was a position of honor in the Persian court. With this position, also came much influence and for that reason, Nehemiah's prayer received a positive response which lead to his exercising authority in the province of Judah.
The word "cupbearer" is in the King James Version of the Bible 1 time. It is in 1 verse.
