\v 3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-Sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim an important official, and Nebo-Sarsekim a high official, and all the remaining officials of the king of Babylon.

ISSUE: In Heb (as well as NIV etc.), it appears that the third name should be the same as the first name (H5371, Nergal-Sharezer) instead of being the same as the second name (Nebo-Sarsekim). See also v.13 where H5371 H7248 is rendered "Nergal-Sharezer the high official."

Suggestion:
