Old Testament

Nebu-sar-sekim was a high official in Nebuchadnezzar's army when Jerusalem fell.

Nebu-sar-sekim was a high-ranking Babylonian official present at the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BC, listed among the officers of Nebuchadnezzar who sat in the middle gate after the city's walls were breached (Jeremiah 39:3). His name corresponds to the Babylonian official Nabu-sharrussu-ukin, a chief eunuch under Nebuchadnezzar II whose name appears on a cuneiform tablet dated to 595 BC—a rare case of direct extra-biblical confirmation of a biblical figure. He appears only in this single verse.
