Nebuchadnezzar Sword by Marto of Toledo Spain – Gold

Description

Nebuchadnezzar, the most important of the Chaldean, or Neo-Babylonian, kings, reigned from 605 to 562 BC. Although he is called Nebuchadnezzar in the Old Testament, his Babylonian name was Nabu-kudur-usur. Modern historians often refer to him as Nebuchadrezzar. There are few Old World names more famous than his. He was a great military leader and brilliant tactician and strategist. However, he is most remembered for building the great city of Babylon and destroying Jerusalem. The great monarch learned the art of war at an early age, going with his father to the campaigns against the Assyrians. From the veteran soldiers of Babylonia and Greek mercenaries he learned the tactics of the battlefield and siege methods.

This Babylonian king was a son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. His first contact with the Jews happened in the time of his father-in-law Sennacherib, whom he accompanied on his campaign against Hezekiah. The destruction of the Assyrian army before the walls of Jerusalem, the great catastrophe from which only Nebuchadnezzar and four others escaped with their life, inspired him with fear of God. Later, in his capacity as secretary to the Babylonian king Merodach-baladan, it was he who called his master’s notice to the mention of the Jewish king’s name before the Name of God. “Thou callest Him ‘the great God,’ yet thou dost name Him after the king,” he said. Nebuchadnezzar himself hastened after the messenger to bring back the letter and have it changed. He had advanced scarce three steps when he was restrained by the angel Gabriel, for even the few paces he had walked for the glory of God earned him his great power over Israel.
