From Nebo, the idol; zar, "prince"; and adan or 'adown, "lord" (Gesenius); but Furst, from dana (Sanskrit), "cut off." "Captain of the guard," literally, "chief of the slaughterers"; next to the royal person (2Ki_25:8-18; Jer_39:9-13). Assumed the chief command on arriving after the siege of Jerusalem. Directed what was to be done with the plunder and captives. (See CAPTIVITY.) Took the chief Jews for judgment to Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah. Visited Jerusalem four years later, and took away more captives (Jer_52:30). By Nebuchadnezzar's direction, Nebuzaradan "looked well to Jeremiah," gave him his choice of going to Babylon or staying, then sent him with victuals and a present, to be protected by Gedaliah the governor left over Judah, after having first told the Jews "Jehovah hath done according as He hath said, because ye have sinned against Jehovah" (Jer_39:11-14; Jer_40:2-5). The pagan knew, through Jeremiah, it was Jehovah's doing; compare the prophecy, Deu_29:24-25. How humiliating to the Jews to be admonished of their sin by a Gentile ruler!

Under the title of ?captain of the guard,? he commanded the army, and, after the fall of the city, carried out his master's policy with regard to the safety of Jeremiah, the transport of the exiles, and the government of those who were left in the land.

Nebuzaradan
(Heb. Nebuzaradan', נְבוּזִרְאֲדָן, for signif. see below; Sept. Ναβουζαρδάνv.r. Ναβουζαρδᾶν; Josephus, Ναβουζαρδάνης, Ant. 10:9, 1 and 2; Vulg. Nebuzardan), the Rab-tabbachim, i.e., chief of the slaughterers or executioners (A.V. " captain of the guard"), a high officer in the court of Nebuchadnezzar, apparently (like the Tartan in the Assyrian army) the next to the person of the monarch. He appears not to have been present during the siege of Jerusalem; probably he was occupied in the more important operations at Tyre, but as soon as the city was actually in the hands of the Babylonians he arrived, and from that moment everything was completely directed by him. B.C. 588. It was he who decided, even to the minutest details, of fire-pans and bowls (2Ki_25:15), what should be carried off and what burned, which persons should be taken away to Babylon, and which left behind in the country. One act only is referred directly to Nebuchadnezzar the appointment of the governor or superintendent of the conquered district. All this Nebuzaradan seems to have carried out with wisdom and moderation. His conduct to Jeremiah, to whom his attention had been directed by his master (Jer_39:11), is marked by even higher qualities than these, and the prophet has preserved (Jer_40:2-5) a speech of Nebuzaradan to him on liberating him from his chains at Ramah, which contains expressions truly remarkable in a heathen. He seems to have left Judaea for this time when he took down the chief people of Jerusalem to his master at Riblah (2Ki_25:18-20). Six years afterwards he again appeared (Jer_52:30). Nebuchadnezzar in his twenty-third year made a descent on the regions east of the Jordan, including the Ammonites and Moabites (Josephus, Ant. 10:9, 7), who escaped when Jerusalem was destroyed. SEE MOAB. Thence he proceeded to Egypt (Joseph. ibid.), and, either on the way thither or on the return. Nebuzaradan again passed through the country and carried off seven hundred and forty-five more captives (Jer_52:30).
The name, like Nebuchadnezzar and Nebu-shasban, contains that of Nebo the Babylonian deity. The other portion of the word is less certain. Gesenius (Thes. page 839 b) translates by Mercurii dux doninus, taking the זִר as שִׂר, "prince," and אֲדָן as אָדוֹן "lord" Furst, on the other hand (Handb. s.v.), treats it as equivalent in meaning to the Hebrew rab- tabbachim, which usually follows it, and sometimes occurs by itself (2Ki_25:18; Jer_40:2; Jer_40:5). To obtain this meaning he treats the first member as = Pers. sar, Sansc. ciro, "chief," as Gesenius; but compares the last member of the name to the Sansc. dana, from de, "to cut off." Gesenius also takes zaradan as identical with the first element in the name of Sardan-apalus. But this latter name is now explained by Sir H. Rawlinson as Assur-dan-i-pal (Rawlinson's Herod. 1:460).
