&lt;br /&gt;
'''Marduk-apla-iddina II''' (cuneiform spelling ᴰMES.A.SUM-na; in the Bible '''Merodach-Baladan''', also called '''Marduk-Baladan''', '''Baladan''' and '''Berodach-Baladan''', lit. ''Marduk has given me an heir'') was a [[Chaldea]]n prince who [[usurper|usurped]] the [[Babylonia]]n throne in 721 BC and reigned in 722 BC--710 BC, and 703 BC--702 BC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marduk-apla iddina II was known as one of the kings who maintained Babylonian independence in the face of [[Assyria]]n military supremacy for more than a decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sargon II|Sargon of Assyria]] repressed the allies of Marduk-apla-iddina II in [[Elam]], [[Aram (Biblical region)|Aram]] and [[Kingdom of Israel (Samaria)|Israel]] and eventually drove (ca. 710 BC) him from Babylon.  After the death of [[Sargon II|Sargon]], Marduk-apla-iddina II briefly recaptured the throne from a native Babylonian nobleman. He reigned nine months (703 BC &amp;amp;ndash; 702 BC). He returned from [[Elam]] and ignited rebellion in [[Babylonia]].  He was able to enter Babylon and be declared king again.  Nine months later he was defeated near [[Kish (Sumer)|Kish]] by the Assyrians, but managed to flee to Elam.  He died in exile a couple of years later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the Bible==&lt;br /&gt;
Merodach-baladan is mentioned as king of Babylon in the days of [[Hezekiah]] both in 2 Kings 20:12 (here called Berodach-baladan) and in [[Isaiah 39:1]]. In both passages he sends Hezekiah a letter of concern because of his illness.&lt;br /&gt;
