Another thought:
The one you may be thinking of is Artaxerxes Longimanus, (the successor of Xerxes), who is remembered for authorizing Ezra's return to Jerusalem around 468 BCE. (Ezra 7:1-26 / Ezra 8:24-36)
No, King Xerxes was the Persian king who reigned in the 5th century BCE. Nebuchadnezzar was a Babylonian king who conquered Jerusalem and exiled the Jews to Babylonia in the 6th century BCE. So Nebuchadnezzar was not sent back to Jerusalem by King Xerxes.
Zerubbabel, a governor appointed by the Persian king Cyrus, led the first return of the exiles back to Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity.
Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a history dating back over 4,000 years. It is sacred to three major monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Old City of Jerusalem is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, encompassing significant religious sites such as the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Dome of the Rock. Jerusalem serves as the capital of Israel and is a key focal point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The city has a diverse population, with a mix of Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and other communities coexisting within its walls.
Zerubbabel was a governor of the Persian province of Yehud, and a descendant of the House of David. He played a key role in the rebuilding of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. He is a significant figure in Jewish history and is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
In the Old Testament, Ezra was a Jewish priest and scribe who played a significant role in leading the Israelites back to Jerusalem after their exile in Babylon. He is credited with reintroducing the Torah and religious practices to the returned exiles and is known for his emphasis on religious reform and obedience to God's laws.

King nebuchadnezzar
First Answer:He was a king, in the Old Testament.Additional Information:There were two kings named Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon . The one we hear about in the Bible ruled many years later and is often called "Nebuchadnezzar ll". He ruled from 605 to 562 B.C.More info:Nebuchadnezzar was the son of Nabopolassar and the father of Awil-Marduk, who succeeded him to the throne.According to the Bible record, Nebuchadnezzar took over Jerusalem, putting 'vassel' kings on the throne, but the last king in Jerusalem, Zedekiah, turned against Nebuchadnezzar, allying himself with Egypt for military protection (Ezekiel 17:15; Jeremiah 27:11-14.) and in the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem. (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. In the last years of his life he was eating grass like a animal.

Judah submitted to Babylonia in 605 BCE, after a period of Egyptian control, but rebelled in 600 BCE, in anticipation of Egyptian assistance. Babylon retook Jerusalem in 597. At this stage, Nebuchadnezzar's interest in Judah was its strategic position between Babylon and Egypt. There was an insurrection under Zedekiah in 588 BCE. Nebuchadnezzar could scarcely accept a rebellion that would foreshadow the breakup of his empire, and began a two-year siege of Jerusalem, which he destroyed in 586 BCE and then exiled much of the remnant population of Jerusalem.
Babylon was destroyed in the early 6785 BC Nope - it persisted until for thousands of years after that, until it gradually disintegrated between 500 BC and 1 AD. In fact, it didn't even exist that far back. (Probably)
King Xerxes I led the expedition to Greece in 480-479 which was driven back by the combined forces of the southern Greek city-states.
False
jezebel was a zidonian from tyre and sidion. Nebuchadnezzar was from Babylon or Persia which is modern day Iraq. Both were wicked and destroyed the people of God, King Nebuchadnezzar converted to Judism in the end. There is no back information to support they were related other than what is stated. Jezebel never converted and is in hell Pastor/Dr/author James Dozia

Yes. "But while all this was going on, I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Some time later I asked his permission and came back to Jerusalem." - Neh. 13:6-7
