His name signifies his association with the Babylonian god Marduk. He is noted for his brief reign and his act of kindness towards Jehoiachin, the exiled king of Judah.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Evil-Merodach was the son and successor of Nebuchadnezzar II, ruling Babylon from approximately 562 to 560 BC. His reign followed the long and influential rule of his father. Historical records outside the Bible suggest that his rule was marked by internal strife and he was eventually assassinated by his brother-in-law, Neriglissar. Evil-Merodach's decision to release Jehoiachin from prison and elevate him to a position of honor reflects the shifting political dynamics in Babylon following Nebuchadnezzar's death.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"man of Merodach," son and successor of Nebuchadnezzar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Evil-merodach (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֱוִיּל מְרֹדַךְ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (Babylonian <i><em>Avêl</em></i> (Amêl) <em>Maruduk, man of Merodach</em>) son & successor of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, B.C. 562-60, <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/25-27.htm">2 Kings 25:27</a> (see COT) = <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/52-31.htm">Jeremiah 52:31</a>. <p>I. <font class="hebrew2">אול</font> (<em>be foolish</em>, compare <font class="hebrew2">יאל</font>, & Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb001708.gif"> <em>grow thick</em> (of fluids)). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Evil-merodach <p>Of Aramaic derivation and probably meaning soldier of Merodak;
