Nebuchadnezzar died after a 43 year reign, He was still king of Babylon. Then the kingship passed to his son, Evil-Merodach. He reigned about 2 years and was slain by his sisters husband, Neriglissar. Nerigilisser reigned about 4 years. Nabonidus was the next king and he ruled until B.C. 539. His son Belshazzar was a co-regent with his father.

These were all Babylonian kings. Belshazzar was in Babylon when the Persians, under Cyrus captured that city in B.C.539.

The Bible calls Belshazzar, Nebuchadnezzar son, but there are many times when a generation is passed over in the Bible. It is said Belshazzar's mother was Nitocris, which was Nebuchadnezzar's daughter.
