SHAREZER would answer to the Assyr. [Note: Assyrian.] Shar-usur, ‘preserve the king,’ but that is only part of a name. 1. It is given 2Ki_19:37 = Isa_37:38 as the name of a son of Sennacherib who with Adrammelech (which see) murdered his father. Shar-etir-Ashur was the name of a son of Sennacherib, who in a fragmentary letter is addressed as monarch, about the time of Esarhaddon’s reign. The name might give rise to Sharezer. At present, however, the Assyrian accounts mention only one murderer, and do not name him. A satisfactory explanation of the Hebrew narrative is yet to be found. 2. Sharezer (the name is prob. incomplete) appears in Zec_7:2 as one of a deputation sent to consult the spiritual heads of the Jewish community.

("the king protects".) Sennaeherib's son and murderer, with Adrammelech. Moses of Chorene mills him Sanasar, and says the Armenian king to whom he fled gave him a tract of land where his descendants became numerous.

Share'zer. (prince of fire). Sharezer was a son of Sennacherib, whom, In conjunction with his brother, Adrammelech, he murdered. 2Ki_19:37. (B.C. after 711).
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


sha-rē?zẽr (שׂראצר, sar'ecer, שׁראצר, shar'ecer): Corresponds to the Assyrian Shar-uṣur, ?protect the king?; found otherwise, not as a complete name, but as elements in personal names, e.g. Bel-shar-uṣur, ?may Bel protect the king,? which is the equivalent of Belshazzar (Dan_5:1). The name is borne by two persons in the Old Testament:
(1) The son of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, who with ADRAMMELECH (which see) murdered his father (2Ki_19:37; Isa_37:38). The Babylonian Chronicle says concerning Sennacherib's death: ?On the 20th day of Tebet Sennacherib, king of Assyria, was slain by his son in a revolt.? This differs from the Old Testament account in that it speaks of only one murderer, and does not give his name. How the two accounts can be harmonized is still uncertain. Hitzig, (Kritik, 194 ff), following Abydenus, as quoted by Eusebius, completed the name of Sennacherib's son, so as to read Nergal-sharezer = Nergal-shar-uṣur (Jer_39:3, Jer_39:13), and this is accepted by many modern scholars. Johns thinks that Sharezer (shar'ecer or sar'ecer) may be a corruption from Shar-etir-Ashur, the name of a son of Sennacherib (1-vol HDB, under the word). The question cannot be definitely settled.
(2) A contemporary of the prophet Zechariah, mentioned in connection with the sending of a delegation to the spiritual heads of the community to inquire concerning the propriety of continuing the fasts: ?They of Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech? (Zec_7:2). This translation creates a difficulty in connection with the succeeding words, literally, ?and his men.? The Revisers place in the margin as an alternative rendering, ?They of Beth-el, even Sharezer ... had sent.? Sharezer sounds peculiar in apposition to ?they of Beth-el?; hence, some have thought, especially since Sharezer seems incomplete, that in the two words Beth-el and Sharezer we have a corruption of what was originally a single proper name, perhaps Bel-sharezer = Bel-shar-uṣur = Bel-shazzar. The present text, no matter how translated, presents difficulties. See REGEM-MELECH.
