Kings of the Babylonian Empire
This chart reveals the Kings of the Neo Babylonian Empire
(Chaldean) from 625 BC to 542 BC. The Babylonian Empire
began to be a world power in 625 BC after the fall of
Assyria. Babylon continued its reign until 536 BC. During
this period Babylon, located along the Euphrates River, was
the metropolis of the East and called in the Bible the "city
of Gold". It was made great and world renown by
Nebuchadnezzar, its greatest king, who reigned in the days
of Daniel and the Captivity of the Jews who were taken to
Babylon after the fall of Jerusalem. Babylon was finally
captured by the Medes and Persians under Cyrus as predicted
by the prophet Daniel, and the Babylonian Empire came to an
end in 536 BC.
