    The form is tagged Noun · Proper in every cited occurrence. In Daniel 3:13 the APB renders the clause in which he commands that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought; in Daniel 4:34 it renders his first-person statement of blessing the Most High, while Ezra 5:12 names him as the king into whose hand the people were given.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently presents the proper name as “Nebuchadnezzar,” often with “king” where the clause identifies his royal position. Those surrounding titles and descriptions should not be treated as separate renderings of the term.
