Nebuchadnezzar


Nebuchadnezzar

In the Old Testament, the king of Babylon (604–561 B.C.) who subdued Judah (2 Kgs. 24:1–4) and besieged Jerusalem (2 Kgs. 24:10–11). The prophet Lehi was commanded to flee Jerusalem in about 600 B.C. to avoid being taken captive to Babylon (1 Ne. 1:4–13) when Nebuchadnezzar carried away King Zedekiah and the people (2 Kgs. 25:1, 8–16, 20–22). Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams (Dan. 2; 4).
