   Nebuchadnezzar was associated with his father Nabopollasar two
   years before the death of the latter; and from this time the
   Jewish computation of Nebuchadnezzar's reign begins; that is,
   from the end of the third year of Jehoiakim; and therefore,
   according to them, the fourth year of Jehoiakim was the first
   year of Nebuchadnezzar.  But the Babylonians date the
   commencement of his reign two years later, that is, on the
   death of his father; which computation is followed by Daniel,
   who wrote in Chaldee.
