 Nergal-sharezer
    Nergal, protect the king! (1.) One of the "princes of the king
    of Babylon who accompanied him in his last expedition against
    Jerusalem" (Jer. 39:3, 13).
      (2.) Another of the "princes," who bore the title of "Rabmag."
    He was one of those who were sent to release Jeremiah from
    prison (Jer. 39:13) by "the captain of the guard." He was a
    Babylonian grandee of high rank. From profane history and the
    inscriptions, we are led to conclude that he was the Neriglissar
    who murdered Evil-merodach, the son of Nebuchadnezzar, and
    succeeded him on the throne of Babylon (B.C. 559-556). He was
    married to a daughter of Nebuchadnezzar. The ruins of a palace,
    the only one on the right bank of the Euphrates, bear
    inscriptions denoting that it was built by this king. He was
    succeeded by his son, a mere boy, who was murdered after a reign
    of some nine months by a conspiracy of the nobles, one of whom,
    Nabonadius, ascended the vacant throne, and reigned for a period
    of seventeen years (B.C. 555-538), at the close of which period
    Babylon was taken by Cyrus. Belshazzar, who comes into notice in
    connection with the taking of Babylon, was by some supposed to
    have been the same as Nabonadius, who was called
    Nebuchadnezzar's son (Dan. 5:11, 18, 22), because he had married
    his daughter. But it is known from the inscriptions that
    Nabonadius had a son called Belshazzar, who may have been his
    father's associate on the throne at the time of the fall of
    Babylon, and who therefore would be the grandson of
    Nebuchadnezzar. The Jews had only one word, usually rendered
    "father," to represent also such a relationship as that of
    "grandfather" or "great-grandfather."
