“Nebuchadnezzar didn’t rule over the Assyrians he was King over Babylonia.”

Babylonia at the time of Nebuchadnezzar had successfully revolted from Assyria and destroyed the Assyrian empire. So the correct answer is both are true. He was king of Babylon and ruled over the Assyrians.

Please read up on the neo-babylonian empire.

But not from Ninevah.

Judith 1:1 While King Nebuchadnezzar was ruling over the Assyrians from his capital city of Nineveh,

I’ll do some more research on that. I was under the impression that the timing was off. Now this.

Tobit claims to have been alive when Jeroboam revolted in 931 B.C. and 210 years later when Assyria conquered Israel in 721 B.C. Then it says in Tobit 14 that he was 112 when he died. Oops!
