Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3519: Νεβουχαδνετσάρ (Nebouchadnetsar) • The Greek transliteration of Nebuchadnezzar, used in the Septuagint and New Testament references to the Babylonian king.

Usage: The name נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It refers to Nebuchadnezzar II, the king of Babylon, who reigned from approximately 605 to 562 BC. He is known for his military conquests, the destruction of Jerusalem, and the subsequent Babylonian exile of the Jewish people.

Context: Nebuchadnezzar II, often referred to simply as Nebuchadnezzar, was one of the most prominent and powerful monarchs of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. His reign is marked by significant military campaigns, architectural achievements, and interactions with the Jewish people. In the biblical narrative, Nebuchadnezzar is depicted as a complex figure who plays a pivotal role in the history of Israel and Judah.

In the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar is portrayed as a king who initially does not recognize the sovereignty of the God of Israel. He is known for his dreams, which Daniel interprets, revealing divine messages about the future of his kingdom and the world. One of the most famous accounts is Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a great statue, representing successive empires, which is ultimately destroyed by a stone "not cut by human hands" (Daniel 2:31-45, BSB).

Nebuchadnezzar's interactions with the Jewish exiles are significant. He is responsible for the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 586 BC, leading to the Babylonian captivity. Despite his initial arrogance and pride, Nebuchadnezzar experiences a humbling transformation, as described in Daniel 4, where he acknowledges the supremacy of the God of Israel after a period of madness.

The historical Nebuchadnezzar is also known for his extensive building projects, including the construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the expansion of the city of Babylon itself.
