NERGAL-SHAREZER. The Bab. [Note: Babylonian.] Nçrgal-shar-uzur ‘Nergal preserve the king,’ the Rab-mag (wh. see), who, with Nebuzaradan and Nebushazban, released Jeremiah from prison ( Jeremiah 39:3; Jeremiah 39:13 ). It is tempting to suppose that he was the Nçrgal-shar-uzur who married a daughter of Nebuchadrezzar, and later came to the throne of Babylon, and is known from classical writers as Neriglissar (b.c. 559 556).

C. H. W. Johns.
