Usage: The name Nebushazban appears in the context of the Babylonian captivity, specifically in the Book of Jeremiah.

Context: Nebushazban is identified as a high-ranking official in the Babylonian court during the time of the prophet Jeremiah. He is mentioned in Jeremiah 39:13, where he is listed among the Babylonian officials present at the fall of Jerusalem. The passage reads: "So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the other officials of the king of Babylon..." (Jeremiah 39:13, BSB). The title "Rabsaris" indicates a high-ranking position, possibly a chief officer or prince. Nebushazban's role in the narrative underscores the presence and influence of Babylonian authority during the conquest and subsequent exile of the Jewish people. His mention alongside other prominent Babylonian figures highlights the organized and hierarchical nature of the Babylonian administration.
