| | Nabu | Encyclopedia of Religion |
 | | NABU was a god, possibly of West Semitic origin, who became a major divine figure in Babylonia and Assyria of the first millennium BCE. |
 | | Nabu was closely aligned with Marduk, whose minister, scribe, and ultimately son he was considered to be. |
 | | Nabu appears in many personal names, including Nabu-Kudurri-usur (the biblical Nebuchadrezzar), which means "Nabu protect our boundaries." In Assyria, Nabu was revered as one of the most important gods, and his popularity was still increasing at the end of the Assyrian empire. |
