Who ruled Babylon while nebuchadnezzar was sick for 7 years?

While Nebuchadnezzar II was afflicted and lost his sanity for seven years, his son Amel-Marduk (also known as Evil-Merodach) is believed to have ruled Babylon. Historical records suggest that during Nebuchadnezzar's absence, Amel-Marduk acted as regent and later succeeded him, taking over the throne after Nebuchadnezzar's recovery. This period is noted in the biblical account of Daniel, where Nebuchadnezzar’s condition is described.
