From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Nebuchadnezzar
      in the Babylonian orthography Nabu-kudur-uzur, which means
      "Nebo, protect the crown!" or the "frontiers." In an inscription
      he styles himself "Nebo's favourite." He was the son and
      successor of Nabopolassar, who delivered Babylon from its
      dependence on Assyria and laid Nineveh in ruins. He was the
      greatest and most powerful of all the Babylonian kings. He
      married the daughter of Cyaxares, and thus the Median and
      Babylonian dynasties were united.
     
         Necho II., the king of Egypt, gained a victory over the
      Assyrians at Carchemish. (See {JOSIAH}; {MEGIDDO}.) This secured to Egypt the possession of the Syrian
      provinces of Assyria, including Palestine. The remaining
      provinces of the Assyrian empire were divided between Babylonia
      and Media. But Nabopolassar was ambitious of reconquering from
      Necho the western provinces of Syria, and for this purpose he
      sent his son with a powerful army westward (Dan. 1:1). The
      Egyptians met him at Carchemish, where a furious battle was
      fought, resulting in the complete rout of the Egyptians, who
      were driven back (Jer. 46:2-12), and Syria and Phoenicia brought
      under the sway of Babylon (B.C. 606). From that time "the king
      of Egypt came not again any more out of his land" (2 Kings
      24:7). Nebuchadnezzar also subdued the whole of Palestine, and
      took Jerusalem, carrying away captive a great multitude of the
      Jews, among whom were Daniel and his companions (Dan. 1:1, 2;
      Jer. 27:19; 40:1).
     
         Three years after this, Jehoiakim, who had reigned in
      Jerusalem as a Babylonian vassal, rebelled against the
      oppressor, trusting to help from Egypt (2 Kings 24:1). This led
      Nebuchadnezzar to march an army again to the conquest of
      Jerusalem, which at once yielded to him (B.C. 598). A third time
      he came against it, and deposed Jehoiachin, whom he carried into
      Babylon, with a large portion of the population of the city, and
      the sacred vessels of the temple, placing Zedekiah on the throne
      of Judah in his stead. He also, heedless of the warnings of the
      prophet, entered into an alliance with Egypt, and rebelled
      against Babylon. This brought about the final siege of the city,
      which was at length taken and utterly destroyed (B.C. 586).
      Zedekiah was taken captive, and had his eyes put out by order of
      the king of Babylon, who made him a prisoner for the remainder
      of his life.
     
         An onyx cameo, now in the museum of Florence, bears on it an
      arrow-headed inscription, which is certainly ancient and
      genuine. The helmeted profile is said (Schrader) to be genuine
      also, but it is more probable that it is the portrait of a
      usurper in the time of Darius (Hystaspes), called Nidinta-Bel,
      who took the name of "Nebuchadrezzar." The inscription has been
      thus translated:, "In honour of Merodach, his lord,
      Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, in his lifetime had this made."
     
         A clay tablet, now in the British Museum, bears the following
      inscription, the only one as yet found which refers to his wars:
      "In the thirty-seventh year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the
      country of Babylon, he went to Egypt [Misr] to make war. Amasis,
      king of Egypt, collected [his army], and marched and spread
      abroad." Thus were fulfilled the words of the prophet (Jer.
      46:13-26; Ezek. 29:2-20). Having completed the subjugation of
      Phoenicia, and inflicted chastisement on Egypt, Nebuchadnezzar
      now set himself to rebuild and adorn the city of Babylon (Dan.
      4:30), and to add to the greatness and prosperity of his kingdom
      by constructing canals and aqueducts and reservoirs surpassing
      in grandeur and magnificence everything of the kind mentioned in
      history (Dan. 2:37). He is represented as a "king of kings,"
      ruling over a vast kingdom of many provinces, with a long list
      of officers and rulers under him, "princes, governors,
      captains," etc. (3:2, 3, 27). He may, indeed, be said to have
      created the mighty empire over which he ruled.
     
         "Modern research has shown that Nebuchadnezzar was the
      greatest monarch that Babylon, or perhaps the East generally,
      ever produced. He must have possessed an enormous command of
      human labour, nine-tenths of Babylon itself, and
      nineteen-twentieths of all the other ruins that in almost
      countless profusion cover the land, are composed of bricks
      stamped with his name. He appears to have built or restored
      almost every city and temple in the whole country. His
      inscriptions give an elaborate account of the immense works
      which he constructed in and about Babylon itself, abundantly
      illustrating the boast, 'Is not this great Babylon which I have
      build?'" Rawlinson, Hist. Illustrations.
     
         After the incident of the "burning fiery furnace" (Dan. 3)
      into which the three Hebrew confessors were cast, Nebuchadnezzar
      was afflicted with some peculiar mental aberration as a
      punishment for his pride and vanity, probably the form of
      madness known as lycanthropy (i.e, "the change of a man into a
      wolf"). A remarkable confirmation of the Scripture narrative is
      afforded by the recent discovery of a bronze door-step, which
      bears an inscription to the effect that it was presented by
      Nebuchadnezzar to the great temple at Borsippa as a votive
      offering on account of his recovery from a terrible illness.
      (See {DANIEL}.)
     
         He survived his recovery for some years, and died B.C. 562, in
      the eighty-third or eighty-fourth year of his age, after a reign
      of forty-three years, and was succeeded by his son
      Evil-merodach, who, after a reign of two years, was succeeded by
      Neriglissar (559-555), who was succeeded by Nabonadius
      (555-538), at the close of whose reign (less than a quarter of a
      century after the death of Nebuchadnezzar) Babylon fell under
      Cyrus at the head of the combined armies of Media and Persia.
     
         "I have examined," says Sir H. Rawlinson, "the bricks
      belonging perhaps to a hundred different towns and cities in the
      neighbourhood of Baghdad, and I never found any other legend
      than that of Nebuchadnezzar, son of Nabopolassar, king of
      Babylon." Nine-tenths of all the bricks amid the ruins of
      Babylon are stamped with his name.

   Nebuchadrezzar
      =Nebuchadnezzar (Jer. 21:2, 7; 22:25; 24:1, etc.), a nearer
      approach to the correct spelling of the word.
