סַמְגַּר נְבוֺ proper name, masculine an officer of Nebuchadnezzar according to ᵑ0 Jer 39:3 = (assumed) Šumgir Nabu (SchrCOT), but probably textual error; Gie (plausibly) takes סמגר as corrupted dittogram of רב מג, and joins נבו to following, נבושׂרסכים = נְבוּשַׁזְבַּן, compare vJer 39:13 and ᵐ5 Σαμαγωθ (Σαμαγαδ, Σαμαγαρ, etc.) καὶ Ναβουσαχαρ.
