Berean Strong's Lexicon Nebuzaradan: Nebuzaradan Original Word: נְבוּזַרְאֲדָן Word Origin: Derived from the Akkadian name Nabû-zēr-iddina, meaning "Nabu has given offspring." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Nebuzaradan in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as he is a historical figure specific to the Old Testament narrative. Usage: Nebuzaradan is a proper noun referring to a high-ranking Babylonian official, specifically the captain of the guard under King Nebuchadnezzar II. He is most notably recognized for his role in the destruction of Jerusalem and the subsequent Babylonian exile of the Jewish people. Cultural and Historical Background: Nebuzaradan served as a prominent military commander in the Neo-Babylonian Empire during the 6th century BCE. His role as the captain of the guard (or chief executioner) placed him in charge of the Babylonian forces that besieged and destroyed Jerusalem in 586 BCE. This event marked a significant turning point in Jewish history, leading to the Babylonian captivity. Nebuzaradan's actions were seen as fulfilling the prophetic warnings given by Jeremiah and other prophets regarding the consequences of Israel's disobedience to God.
