Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Samgar-Nebo One of the Babylonian princes who, at the taking of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, in the 11th year of Zedekiah, came and sat in the middle gate ( Jeremiah 39:3 ). There has been much discussion concerning this name, due to the varying forms of the Greek version. The most probable explanation is that of Schrader, namely, Shumgir-Nabû , a name meaning ‘Be gracious, O Nebo.’ As, however, Rab-saris and Rab-mag are titles, the question arises whether Samgar-nebo may not be one also. If so, it may be a corruption of sangu Nebo , ‘the priest of Nebo,’ an office possibly held by Nergal-sharezer , who, if identical with king Neriglissar, was closely connected with E-zida, the temple of Nebo at Borsippa. His daughter married a priest of E-zida in the first year of his reign.

sam - gar - nē´bo ( נבו סמגר , ṣamgar nebhō , a Babylonian name): An officer of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who, according to the Massoretic Text of Jeremiah 39:3 , took his seat with other nobles in the middle gate of Jerusalem after the Chaldean army had taken the city. Schrader ( COT , ii, 109) holds that the name is a Hebraized form of the Assyrian Sumgirnabu ("be gracious, Nebo"), but Giesebrecht ( Comm. , 211) conjectures for Samgar a corruption of Sar-mag ( Sar - magh ), equivalent to Rab-mag ( rab - magh ), which implies virtual dittography. The number of variant readings exhibited by the Septuagint seems to confirm the belief that the text is corrupt. Nebo ( nabu ) is there joined with the following Sarsechim to agree with Nebushazban of Jeremiah 39:13 . If the name Samgar-nebo is correct, the first Nergal-sharezer "should perhaps be dropped; we would then read: "Samgar-nebo the Sarsechim, Nebushazban the Rab-saris (compare Jeremiah 39:13 ) and Nergal-sharezer the Rab-mag" (Sayce).
