Best Answer

First Answer:

He was a king, in the Old Testament.

Additional Information:

There were two kings named Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon . The one we hear about in The Bible ruled many years later and is often called "Nebuchadnezzar ll". He ruled from 605 to 562 B.C.

More info:

Nebuchadnezzar was the son of Nabopolassar and the father of Awil-Marduk, who succeeded him to the throne.

According to the Bible record, Nebuchadnezzar took over Jerusalem, putting 'vassel' kings on the throne, but the last king in Jerusalem, Zedekiah, turned against Nebuchadnezzar, allying himself with Egypt for military protection (Ezekiel 17:15; Jeremiah 27:11-14.) and in the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem. (2Kings 24:20; 25:1; 2Chronicles 36:13) Egypt intervened, but was forced back (Jeremiah 37:5-10) and Jerusalem fell to Babylon, where Nebuchadnezzar took captives, including Daniel.(Daniel 2)(Daniel 4)(Jeremiah 52:30)
Nebuchadnezzar was a king of Babylon, who took the Jews as captives , a famous prophet at this time was Daniel. In the last years of his life he was eating grass like a animal.
