From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Nergal
      the great dog; that is, lion, one of the chief gods of the
      Assyrians and Babylonians (2 Kings 17:30), the god of war and
      hunting. He is connected with Cutha as its tutelary deity.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Nergal-sharezer
      Nergal, protect the king! (1.) One of the "princes of the king
      of Babylon who accompanied him in his last expedition against
      Jerusalem" (Jer. 39:3, 13).
     
         (2.) Another of the "princes," who bore the title of "Rabmag."
      He was one of those who were sent to release Jeremiah from
      prison (Jer. 39:13) by "the captain of the guard." He was a
      Babylonian grandee of high rank. From profane history and the
      inscriptions, we are led to conclude that he was the Neriglissar
      who murdered Evil-merodach, the son of Nebuchadnezzar, and
      succeeded him on the throne of Babylon (B.C. 559-556). He was
      married to a daughter of Nebuchadnezzar. The ruins of a palace,
      the only one on the right bank of the Euphrates, bear
      inscriptions denoting that it was built by this king. He was
      succeeded by his son, a mere boy, who was murdered after a reign
      of some nine months by a conspiracy of the nobles, one of whom,
      Nabonadius, ascended the vacant throne, and reigned for a period
      of seventeen years (B.C. 555-538), at the close of which period
      Babylon was taken by Cyrus. Belshazzar, who comes into notice in
      connection with the taking of Babylon, was by some supposed to
      have been the same as Nabonadius, who was called
      Nebuchadnezzar's son (Dan. 5:11, 18, 22), because he had married
      his daughter. But it is known from the inscriptions that
      Nabonadius had a son called Belshazzar, who may have been his
      father's associate on the throne at the time of the fall of
      Babylon, and who therefore would be the grandson of
      Nebuchadnezzar. The Jews had only one word, usually rendered
      "father," to represent also such a relationship as that of
      "grandfather" or "great-grandfather."
