Jeremiah 39:3,13
Listen from:
This is not a proper name, but the title of Nergal-sharezer (Jer. 39:3, 13). It has been supposed by some to signify “chief of the Magi,” and by others, “chief priest.” On the monuments it is given as ruba eniga, which has been interpreted “the glorious prince.” This would be an appropriate title if Nergal-sharezer is the same person who became Neriglissar the king.
