MERODACH - M>@ - (death), kjv@Jeremiah:50:2) identical with the famous Babylonian Bel or Belus, the word being probably at first a mere epithet of the god, which by degrees superseded his proper appellation.

MERODACHBALADAN - M>@ - (worshipper of Baal) is mentioned as king of Babylon in the days of Hezekiah both in the second hook of Kings, ch. ( kjv@2Kings:20:12) and in Isaiah. ch. kjv@Isaiah:39:1) In the former place he is called Berodach-baladan. The name of Merodach-baladan has been recognized in the Assyrian inscriptions. It appears there were two reigns of this king, the first from B.C. 721 to B.C. 709, when he was deposed; and the second after his recovery of the throne in B.C. 702, which lasted only half a year. There is some doubt as to the time at which he went his ambassadors to Hezekiah, for the purpose of inquiring as to the astronomical marvel of which Judea had been the scene, ( kjv@2Chronicles:32:31) but it appears to have been B.C. 713.

Merodach @ death; slaughter, the name of a Babylonian god, probably the planet Mars kjv@Jeremiah:50:2), or it may be another name of Bel, the guardian divinity of Babylon. This name frequently occurs as a surname to the kings of Assyria and Babylon.

Merodach-baladan @ Merodach has given a son, kjv@Isaiah:39:1), "the hereditary chief of the Chaldeans, a small tribe at that time settled in the marshes at the mouth of the Euphrates, but in consequence of his conquest of Babylon afterwards, they became the dominant caste in Babylonia itself." One bearing this name sent ambassadors to Hezekiah (B.C. 721). He is also called Berodach-baladan ( kjv@2Kings:20:12; kjv@2Chronicals:20:31). (
See HEZEKIAH.)
