 Shamash
At times, instead of Ishtar, we find Adad, the storm-god, associated with Sin and Shamash, and it may be that these two sets of triads represent the doctrines of two different schools of theological thought in Babylonia which were subsequently harmonized by the recognition of a group consisting of all four deities.
Other sun-deities, as Ninib and Nergal, the patron deities of important centres, retained their independent existence as certain phases of the sun, Ninib becoming the sun-god of the morning and of the spring time, and Nergal the sun-god of the noon and of the summer solstice, while Shamash was viewed as the sun-god in general.
This aspect of the sun-god is vividly brought out in the hymns addressed to him, which are, therefore, among the finest productions in the entire realm of Babylonian literature.

 The Shamash Of Nikolsburg
The old shamash wanted very much to know who the king was and what business he had with the Rabbi.
One early morning, on reaching the Rabbi's house, the shamash saw him sitting, as always, with a Gemarah in front of him, absorbed in study.
Needless to say, after the members of the council heard what the shamash had related with such sincerity and reverence, there could no longer be any question of requesting their saintly Rabbi to give up his position!

 Shamash - Jews for Jesus
I remember my father explaining that just as the shamash, or the servant, is used to bring light to the other candles, so Jesus came to be a servant, bringing light into the world.
But the more traditional hanukkiahs place the shamash at the center of the menorah, often elevated a bit from the other candles.
And he told us that when Jesus lives in our hearts, we too become servants, bringing His light to other people.

For my sake, Shamash, do not curse them!

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Babylonia
Sin, the moon, was the god of Ur; Shamash, the sun, was the god of Larsa and Sippar; when the two towns of Girsu and Uruazaga were united into the one city of Lagash, the two respective local deities, Nin-Girsu and Bau, became man and wife, to whom Gudea brought wedding presents.
From their foundations he rebuilt the great Shamash temple in Sippar and the Sin temple in Harran, and in his reign the city walls of Babylon "were curiously built with burnt brick and bitumen".
He tells us that the foundation-stone of the Shamash temple laid by Naram Sin had not been seen for 3200 years, which, roughly speaking, gives us 3800 B.C., for Sargon of Akkad, Naram Sin's father; upon this date most of our early Babylonian chronology is based.
