Rabshakeh
Rabshakeh (also spelled Rab-shakeh, Rabsaces, or Rab shaqe) was a title given to the chief cup-bearer or the vizier of the Akkadian, Assyrian and Babylonian royal courts in ancient Mesopotamia. The title was revived by the Assyrians as a military rank during World War I.
Adrammelech
Adrammelech was an ancient Semitic god who was worshipped in the twin cities of Sippar Yahrurum and Sippar Amnanum on the banks of the Euphrates, north of Babylon. His name means "Magnificent king."
Adrammelech was also the name of a son and murderer of Sennacherib, king of Assyria. He was known in the Akkadian language as Arda-Mulissu, and was the rebellious son of Sennacherib.
Nisroch
Nisroch was an Assyrian god in whose temple King Sennacherib was worshiping when he was assassinated by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer. The name Nisroch is most likely a scribal error for Nimrod, the legendary king of ancient Assyria. Some scholars believe that Nisroch may be the god of agriculture, while others believe that he is the Assyrian god of fire. However, there is no definitive answer to the question of who or what Nisroch was.
