-'''Evil-Merodach''', or Amal-Marduk, was the son and successor to the throne of [[Nebuchadnezzar II]], king of [[Babylon]] ([[II Kings]] 25:27; [[Book of Jeremiah|Jeremiah]] 52:31, 34).

-Evil-Merodach reigned a mere two years (562-560 B.C.) before being murdered by his brother-in-law, who then took the throne (Jer. 39:3, 13).  The prophet [[Daniel]] probably influenced Evil-Merodach, who was then kind to the prisoner [[Jehoiachin]], who had held in Babylon for 37 years until Evil-Merodach released him.
-In other respects Evil-Merodach was a brutal and lustful king.
