Who is Evil-merodach?
        E'VIL-MERO'DACH
        , son and successor of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. 2 Kgs 25:27. Soon after his accession to the throne he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison, and treated him with great regard through life. Jer 52:31-34. He began his reign b.c. 561, but in b. c. 559 he fell a victim to a conspiracy formed among his own kindred, headed by his brother-in-law, Neriglissar -- probably the Nergal-sharezer of Jer 39:3, 2 Kgs 11:13 -- who succeeded him.
