<p> ''''' sha ''''' - ''''' rē´zẽr ''''' ( שׂראצר , <i> ''''' sar'ecer ''''' </i> , שׁראצר , <i> ''''' shar'ecer ''''' </i> ): Corresponds to the Assyrian <i> ''''' Shar ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' uṣur ''''' </i> , "protect the king"; found otherwise, not as a complete name, but as elements in personal names, e.g. <i> ''''' [[Bel]] ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' shar ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' uṣur ''''' </i> , "may Bel protect the king," which is the equivalent of [[Belshazzar]] ( Daniel 5:1 ). The name is borne by two persons in the Old Testament: </p> <p> (1) The son of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, who with [[Adrammelech]] (which see) murdered his father (2 Kings 19:37; Isaiah 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, ( <i> Kritik </i> , 194 ff), following Abydenus, as quoted by Eusebius, completed the name of Sennacherib's son, so as to read Nergal-sharezer = <i> '''''Nergal''''' </i> - <i> '''''shar''''' </i> - <i> '''''uṣur''''' </i> (Jeremiah 39:3 , Jeremiah 39:13 ), and this is accepted by many modern scholars. Johns thinks that Sharezer ( <i> '''''shar'ecer''''' </i> or <i> '''''sar'ecer''''' </i> ) may be a corruption from <i> '''''Shar''''' </i> - <i> '''''etir''''' </i> - <i> '''''Ashur''''' </i> , the name of a son of Sennacherib (1-vol <i> HDB </i> , under the word). The question cannot be definitely settled. </p> <p> (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" (Zechariah 7:2 ). This translation creates a difficulty in connection with the succeeding words, literally, "and <i> his </i> 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 = <i> '''''Bel''''' </i> - <i> '''''shar''''' </i> - <i> '''''uṣur''''' </i> = Bel-shazzar.
