'''Evil-Merodach''', or Amal-Marduk, was the son and successor to the throne of [[Nebuchadnezzar]], king of [[Babylon]] (2 Kings 25:27; Jer. 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. '''Evil-Merodach''' released him.

In other respects '''Evil-Merodach''' was a brutal and lustful king.
