Nebuchadnezzar
느부갓네살
Named at 2 Kings 24:1, where in Jehoiakim’s days (WEB “In his days”) “Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.” At 24:10–12 the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up to Jerusalem, and the city is besieged; Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes to the city, and Jehoiachin the king of Judah goes out to the king of Babylon, “and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.” 25:1 says that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, where WEB dates it “In the ninth year of his reign” and the Korean Revised Version 시드기야 구년; 25:8 dates the coming of Nebuzaradan to Jerusalem to “the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon”; and 25:22 calls the people who were left in the land of Judah those “whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left”. Jeremiah 39:11–12 says that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying, “Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you.” Daniel 1:1–2 says that in the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it, and that the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; 1:18 says, “At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar”; 2:1, “In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him”; and 2:46–48, that King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, worshiped Daniel (the Korean Revised Version: 절하고, bowed), and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors to him, and that the king made Daniel great and made him rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon. Daniel 3:1 says, “Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon”; 3:19–20, that Nebuchadnezzar, full of fury, commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated, and commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace; 3:28–29, that Nebuchadnezzar said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,” and, “Therefore I make a decree”; 4:1–18, that in the proclamation of “Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth” he says, “I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace. I saw a dream which made me afraid,” and tells Belteshazzar that in the visions of his head he saw a tree in the middle of the earth; 4:28–33, “This was fulfilled the same hour on Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from men and ate grass like oxen”; and 4:34–36, “At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me,” and, “I was established in my kingdom.”

14He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
15He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

Matthew 1:11 records that Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, and 1:12 that after the exile to Babylon Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. 2 Kings 23:34 names Jehoiakim the son of Josiah; 24:6 says that Jehoiachin, Jehoiakim’s son, reigned in his place; 24:12–15 that Jehoiachin went out to the king of Babylon, was captured and was carried away to Babylon; and 25:27 that Jehoiachin king of Judah was released out of prison in the thirty-seventh year of his captivity. Esther 2:6 speaks of “the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away”, and names no father or son of Jeconiah. The Korean Revised Version reads 여고냐 in Matthew and in Esther 2:6 and 여호야긴 in 2 Kings, and WEB reads Jechoniah in Matthew, Jeconiah in Esther 2:6 and Jehoiachin in 2 Kings. This collection records the Jeconiah of Esther 2:6 in the same entry as Matthew’s Jechoniah, and Jehoiachin, whose name is written otherwise, apart. The text does not say whether Jehoiachin and Jechoniah are the same man, and this collection does not decide it.

Only Daniel 1:1 gives a year for the coming, and the three years of 2 Kings 24:1 are the years Jehoiakim served; of these passages only Daniel 1:1 tells of a siege of Jerusalem. Daniel 1:2 does not say whether Jehoiakim went to the land of Shinar (the Korean Revised Version names what was carried with the singular 그것, it; WEB reads “them”). The text does not say whether the three books tell of one coming of Nebuchadnezzar or of more than one, and this collection records each as its book gives it and decides none of it.
