First, in plain English
His son was the Babylonian king who sent envoys to Hezekiah after his illness. About Baladan himself nothing else is recorded.
Who this is
Baladan appears only as the father of Merodach-baladan, the Babylonian king who sent envoys to Hezekiah after his illness (2 Kings 20:12; Isaiah 39:1). Nothing else about him is recorded in the biblical text; his son's rebellions against Assyria are independently attested in Assyrian and Babylonian chronicle records of the period.
