NEBUCHADNEZZAR

Nebuchadnezzar was King of Babylonia from 604 BC. He was born in 630 BC and died in 562 BC. Shortly before his accession he defeated the Egyptians at Carchemish and brought Palestine and Syria into his empire. Judah revolted, with Egyptian assistance, in 596 and from 587 to 586 BC; on both occasions he captured Jerusalem and took many Hebrews into captivity. He largely rebuilt Babylon and constructed the hanging gardens.
