Who ruled Babylon when King Nebuchadnezzar ate grass with the cows?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to Conservapedia, a Christian fundamentalist encyclopedia, "In 570 BC, Nebuchadnezzar, having completed his wars of conquest, returned to Babylon to concentrate on making it his showcase. At this time he dreamed of a tree destined to be cut down. Daniel tried to tell him that Nebuchadnezzar himself was that tree, but the king did not listen. Very soon thereafter, Nebuchadnezzar came to suffer the delusion that he was an animal, and to eat grass." This disease, known as Lycanthropy, involves a delusion that the affected person can or has transformed into an animal or that he or she is an animal. Michael Nisbett (2007) says a fragmentary cuneiform inscription in which an anonymous court official, possibly the king's own physician, could possibly testify to symptoms of depression in Nebuchadnezzar and therefore perhaps this depressive disorder.

Who is Beeri the father of Hosea?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jewish tradition says he uttered only a few words of prophecy, and as they were insufficient to be incorporated into a book on their own, they were incorporated into the Book of Isaiah, namely verses 19 and 20 of the 8th chapter. As such, Beeri is considered a prophet in Judaism.[5] Beeri was sometimes identified with Beerah (1 Chronicles 5:6), who was taken into exile by the Assyrians
