The Rich and Lazarus is about a story long ago B.C., before Christ. There was once a king, Nabucodonosor and his wife , Amytis. They had three children, one boy and two girls, Evil- Merodaque, Nitocris, and Cassaia. Then when Nabucodononosor became the king of Babylonia, then that's where things changed. They belived tin statues as their Gods and never realized that the statues were only figures of rock and stone and that there was only one God that existed and that he didn't have any names like Marduk and Ishtar, their Gods, and that the real gods name was God the one and only God. Nabucodonosor at first was nice because he had just swore that he would never disrespect anything anyone no matter what because he had just turned into a king and did not want anything to go wrong, but as the days and years past, the stuff got better and got used to it and so did what he wanted.
