Usage: The name Berodak-Baladan appears in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the narrative concerning the interactions between the kingdom of Judah and Babylon.

Context: Berodak-Baladan, also known as Merodach-Baladan, was a king of Babylon who reigned during the late 8th century BCE. He is mentioned in the Bible in 2 Kings 20:12 and Isaiah 39:1. Berodak-Baladan is noted for sending envoys with letters and a gift to King Hezekiah of Judah after hearing of his illness and recovery. This act is significant as it represents the political maneuvering and alliances of the time, with Babylon seeking to establish relations with Judah against the Assyrian empire. The historical context places Berodak-Baladan as a ruler who opposed Assyrian dominance, and his interactions with Hezekiah are seen as part of his broader strategy to consolidate power and influence in the region.
