Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of foreign originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Nisrok, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context. Usage: The name Nisrok appears in the context of the Assyrian king Sennacherib's worship practices. It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the god in whose temple Sennacherib was worshiping when he was assassinated by his sons. Context: Nisrok is identified as an Assyrian deity mentioned in the Old Testament. The reference to Nisrok is found in 2 Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38, where it is recorded that Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, was worshiping in the temple of Nisrok when he was killed by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer. The specific identity and attributes of Nisrok are not detailed in the biblical text, and there is limited extrabiblical evidence to provide further clarity. Some scholars suggest that Nisrok may be associated with a deity known in Assyrian mythology, possibly linked to the god Nusku or another regional deity. The narrative highlights the vulnerability of even powerful rulers and the ultimate sovereignty of the God of Israel over foreign gods and kings.
