Berodach-baladan in Wikipedia
Marduk-apla-iddina II (the biblical Merodach-Baladan, also
called Marduk-Baladan, Baladan and Berodach-Baladan. lit.
Marduk has given me an Heir.) (reigned 722 BC – 710 BC, 703 BC
– 702 BC) was a Chaldean prince who usurped the Babylonian
throne in 721 BC. Marduk-apla iddina II was also known as one
of the brave kings who maintained Babylonian independence in
the face of Assyrian military supremacy for more than a
decade.
Sargon of Assyria repressed the allies of Marduk-apla-iddina
II in Aram and Israel and eventually drove (ca. 710 BC) him
from Babylon. After the death of Sargon, Marduk-apla-iddina II
recaptured the throne. In the time of his reign over
Babylonia, he strengthened the Chaldean Empire. He reigned
nine months (703 BC – 702 BC). He returned from Elam and
ignited all the Arameans in Babylonia into rebellion. He was
able to enter Babylon and be declared king again. Nine months
later he was defeated near Kish, but escaped to Elam with the
gods of the south. He died in exile a couple of years later.
