In Jeremiah 39:3, two proper-noun forms occur in the list of rulers of the king of Babylon who came and sat in the middle gate; the APB names Nergal-sar-ezer twice, once with “the Rab-mag.” In Jeremiah 39:13, the proper noun appears among chief officers who sent, and the APB again names Nergal-sar-ezer “the Rab-mag.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Nergal-sar-ezer” in both verses, including two occurrences in Jeremiah 39:3. The title “the Rab-mag” is reported only as part of the verse’s presentation.
