Who is Nergal-sharezer?
        NER'GAL-SHARE'ZER
        (fire prince), the name of two Babylonian noblemen, Jer 39:3, 2 Kgs 11:13, who accompanied Nebuchadnezzar in his expedition against Zedekiah. One of these individuals is entitled Rab-mag. This designation probably means "chief of the magicians." He is generally identified with Neriglissar of profane history, who married Nebuchadnezzar's daughter, and ascended the throne two years after that monarch's death. A palace built by him has been discovered among the ruins of Babylon, and his name found on bricks.
