Nebushazban was a Babylonian officer holding the title Rab-saris, chief of the court officials, in the service of Nebuchadnezzar. He is named in Jeremiah 39:13 among the senior officers Nebuchadnezzar sent to Jerusalem after its fall in 586 BC, with orders to locate Jeremiah and see that he was treated well and released from the court of the guard. His Akkadian name, meaning roughly "Nabu, save me," reflects the standard Babylonian court practice of naming officials after the god Nabu.
