He is identified as a high-ranking official in the Babylonian empire during the time of the prophet Jeremiah. His role and actions are briefly noted in the context of the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem and the subsequent exile of the Jewish people.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Nebushazban is mentioned in <a href="/jeremiah/39-13.htm">Jeremiah 39:13</a>, where he is listed among the Babylonian officials present at the fall of Jerusalem. The verse in the Berean Standard Bible reads: "So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the other officers of the king of Babylon."<br><br><b>Role and Title:</b><br><br>Nebushazban held the title of "Rabsaris," which is a Babylonian term often translated as "chief officer" or "chief eunuch." This title indicates that he was a person of significant authority and influence within the Babylonian administration. The Rabsaris was typically responsible for overseeing the king's court and managing various administrative duties, which would have placed Nebushazban in a position of considerable power during the Babylonian siege and occupation of Jerusalem.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b><br><br>The mention of Nebushazban occurs during a pivotal moment in Jewish history—the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar II. This event marked the beginning of the Babylonian Exile, a period of profound significance for the Jewish people. The presence of Nebushazban and other Babylonian officials in Jerusalem underscores the complete control exerted by Babylon over the city and its inhabitants.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the account of Nebushazban and the Babylonian officials serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of prophetic warnings. The fall of Jerusalem was foretold by prophets like Jeremiah as a consequence of the people's disobedience and idolatry. The involvement of Nebushazban in these events highlights the instruments through which divine judgment was executed, emphasizing the theme of accountability and the seriousness of covenantal faithfulness.<br><br><b>Cultural and Political Implications:</b><br><br>Nebushazban's role as a Babylonian official also reflects the broader cultural and political dynamics of the ancient Near East. The Babylonian empire was known for its administrative efficiency and ability to integrate conquered peoples into its bureaucratic system. Officials like Nebushazban were crucial in maintaining order and implementing the policies of the empire, which often included the relocation and assimilation of subjugated populations.<br><br>In summary, Nebushazban is a figure whose brief mention in the biblical narrative provides insight into the historical and theological context of the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem. His position as Rabsaris underscores the authority and reach of the Babylonian empire during this critical period in biblical history.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">NEBUSHAZBAN</span><p>neb-u-shaz'-ban (nebhushazebhan equals Assyrian Nabusezib-anni, "Nebo delivers me"; the King James Version Nebushasban): An important officer (the Rab-saris, chief captain or "chief eunuch") of the Babylonian army, who with Nergal-sharezer and others was appointed to see to the safety of Jeremiah after the taking of Jerusalem (<a href="/jeremiah/39-13.htm">Jeremiah 39:13</a>).<p><span class="encheading">THANK OFFERING</span><p>See <a href="../s/sacrifice.htm">SACRIFICE</a>.<p><span class="encheading">TRESPASS OFFERING</span><p>See <a href="../s/sacrifice.htm">SACRIFICE</a>.<p><span class="encheading">WAVE OFFERING</span><p>wav of'-er-ing.<br><br>See <a href="../s/sacrifice.htm">SACRIFICE</a>.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/5021.htm"><span class="l">5021.
