==Biography==
Nebuchadnezzar was the son of Nabopolassar, who had freed Babylon from its dependence on Assyria and destroyed Niniveh.


Nebuchadnessar's military campaigns led to the formation of a vast empire that included Syria and Phoenicia and extended to the borders of Egypt. Babylon was turned into a beautiful capital, adorned of temples, palaces, and gardens, where the subdued kings (and gods) were taken as hostages at the court of the King.

In 597 BCE Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem and ruled over Judah ever since. He deposed the Davidic king [[Jehoiachin]], took him and his court captives to Babylon, and replaced him in Jerusalem with his uncle [[Zedekiah]]. Ten years later, in 587 BCE, following [[Zedekiah]]'s attempt to rebel, destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple, killed [[Zedekiah]] and his sons, and deported portion of the population to Babylon. [[Jehoiachin]] remained captive in Babylon, still bearing the official title of king of Judah.
