זוהר שמות — דף קעה ע”א

Merodak Baladan woke to find the sun standing still and was told that the God of Hezekiah had performed two miracles: healing Hezekiah and reversing the sun. He rose and wrote a greeting to the great God of Jerusalem. God told him: you took three steps for my honor, from you will come three mighty kings who will rule the world, the first of whom was Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel explained that the king made a golden statue 60 cubits high because he saw only the golden head in the dream and wanted it entirely gold.
