Nebuchadrezzar I, also known as Nebuchadnezzar I (Akkadian: Nabu-kudurri-usur), was the king of the Babylonian Empire from about 1125 BC to 1104 BC. He is considered to be the greatest king of the Dynasty of Pashe, a line which held the Babylonian throne through 1010 BC. His greatest success was re-establishing the Babylonian lands by driving out the Elamite invaders which had taken over much of the territory. He then proceeded to push out and solidify his borders, locking Babylon into a conflict with the Assyrians. He is not to be confused with the more well-known Nebuchadnezzar II of biblical fame.
