Nergalsharezer
[Ner’gal-sharezer]
1. Prince of the king of Babylon; he assisted at the destruction of Jerusalem. Jer 39:3.
2. Another prince present on the same occasion, whose title is given as Rab-mag, q.v. Jer 39:3; Jer 39:13. The latter probably became the king, who was named NERIGLISSAR. He killed his brother-in-law Evil-merodach, and succeeded to the throne, B.C. 559. On some bricks his name has been found as Nergal-shar-uzur, Rubu-emga.
