'''Nebuchadnezzar''' was King of Babylon, from 605 to 562 BCE.
 
==Overview==
 
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. 
 
Nebuchadnezzar was succeeded by his son [[Evil-merodach]] (Amel-Marduk).
 
====Nebuchadnezzar and the Jews====
 
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.
