Many historians place the beginning of the the Jewish problem with the Babylonian defeat of the Egyptians in Syria in 605 BC/BCE. The ruler of the Babylonian empire was King Nebuchadnezzar. In 598 BC/BCE he marched his army west and laid seige to Jerusalem. A year later he captured the city. History does not say he enslaved the Jews at that point. Nebuchadnezzar installed a Jewish king he thought he could control, namely King Zedekiah. The new king was said to be conspiring against Babylonian power in Judea. The Babylonians in 587 BC/BCE placed Jerusalem under siege. In 586 BC/BCE Nebuchadnezzar captured the king and destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. As part of this war, Nebuchadnzzar brought most of the Jews to Babylon as slaves.

(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.

Who was both prophet to gods captive and Gentile kings?

Daniel would be the one I would think of here. Although the line of Jerusalem's kings was killed off by Nebuchadnezzar when he destroyed Jerusalem, there was one of them that was taken captive to Babylon at an earlier time along with the other nobles of Jerusalem that would have included Daniel. Jehoiachin, also called Jeconiah, only ruled as king for 3 and a half months before being taken captive to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar then made his uncle, Zedekiah, the ruling vassal king in Jerusalem.Daniel then was a prophet during Babylonian captivity and gave interpretations of prophetic dreams or other prophecies to gentile kings Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Darius the Mede.


Where was Daniel the prophet born?

Southern Kingdom (Kingdom of Israel). It is not exactly known where Daniel was born but you can assume that he was born in the locality near Jerusalem (Kingdom of Israel). Daniel was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon when King Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem in 587 BC. Daniel was taken captive prior to the fall of Jerusalem 606 BC. At that time there were two kingdoms of Israelites and they were the Kingdoms of Judah (around Jerusalem) and the Kingdom Israel (the northern area of Israel). The end of the Northern Kingdom (Kingdom of Judah) came in 721 BC. Therefore Daniel had to come from the southern kingdom (Kingdom of Israel).

Did Nebuchadnezzar write chapter 4 of the Book of Daniel?

No, Nebuchadnezzar did not write any part of the book of Daniel. In fact, scholars now know that the book was really written in the second century BCE, long after the events it depicts. The Book of Daniel draws a close parallel between the legendary patriarch Joseph, who interpreted dreams for his captor, the king of Egypt, and Daniel, who interpreted dreams for his captor, the king of Babylon. Chapter 4 begins by declaring its author to be Nebuchadnezzar, who describes his dream and how only Daniel could interpret it. Nebuchadnezzar then explains what Daniel told him, but when Daniel's story finishes, verses 28 to 33 accidentally slip into talking of Nebuchadnezzar in the third person - a certain give-away that Nebuchadnezzar had not really been writing. Then verses 34 to 37 revert to the style of having been written by Nebuchadnezzar. Further confusing the evidence for authorship by Nebuchadnezzar, verses 2 and 3 begin by Nebuchadnezzar praising Daniel's God, but verse 8 makes it clear that Nebuchadnezzar has another god and talks of the "holy gods", just as a pagan would. Overall the chapter 'proves' that Daniel's God is supreme, for which reason, Nebuchadnezzar blessed the most High (4:34) and praised the King of heaven (4:37). How could this be if he then sat down and wrote an historical account, unapologetically saying that he had another god? By putting Nebuchadnezzar's experiences in the first person, the author of Daniel was making an otherwise implausible episode seem plausible. His dogmatic statements about God avoided contradiction because they came from no less a source than Nebuchadnezzar.
