‏ Daniel 5:31

v. 31: After Belshazzar’s death, Darius the Mede took over the kingdom. He ruled together with Cyrus, who had conquered Babylon (Daniel 5:31 a). Darius was sixty-two years old at the time. God’s plan was at work, even in the details of history. The fall of Babylon made way for the return of the Jewish people, showing God’s kindness and faithfulness to His promises (2 Kings 24:13–15 b).
