description: "Amel-Marduk, also known as Awil-Marduk, or in the biblical rendition of his name, Evil-Merodach, was the third emperor of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, ruling from 562 BCE until his overthrow and murder in 560 BCE. He was the successor of Nebuchadnezzar II. On account of the small number of surviving cuneiform sources, little is known of Amel-Marduk's reign and actions as king."
