Merodach-baladan
    Merodach has given a son, (Isa. 39:1), "the hereditary chief of
    the Chaldeans, a small tribe at that time settled in the marshes
    at the mouth of the Euphrates, but in consequence of his
    conquest of Babylon afterwards, they became the dominant caste
    in Babylonia itself." One bearing this name sent ambassadors to
    Hezekiah (B.C. 721). He is also called Berodach-baladan (2 Kings
    20:12; 2 Chr. 20:31). (See HEZEKIAH.)



 Merodach-baladan, bitter contrition, without judgment
