Media lay north of Babylon, and Persia eastward; and Cyrus commanded the forces of both these nations; and, by his wonderful success, he trampled down mighty monarchs as mortar, and as the potter treads the clay. raised.21:2; 44:28; 45:1-6,13; 46:10,11; Jer 51:27-29shall he call.Ezr 1:2,3come upon.2; 10:6; 2Sa 22:43; Mic 7:10; Zec 10:5Jeremiah 50:9

Cyrus had conquered Armenia, defeated Croesus king of Lydia, (B.C. 548,) and subdued several nations from the Egean sea to the Euphrates, before he marched against Babylon; and Xenophon also informs us that there were not only Armenians, but both Phrygians and Cappadocians in the army of Cyrus.
