So Darius the Mede became the new king when he was sixty-two years old.
These things happened during the first year Darius son of Xerxes was king over Babylon. He was a descendant of the Medes.
Darius thought it would be a good idea to choose one hundred twenty governors who would rule his kingdom.
Babylon, I set a trap for you, and you were caught before you knew it. You fought against the Lord, so you were found and taken prisoner.
Parsin: Your kingdom is being divided and will be given to the Medes and the Persians.”
In the first year that Darius the Mede was king, I stood up to support Michael in his fight against the prince of Persia.
I will make happen all the terrible things I said about Babylonia—everything Jeremiah prophesied about all those foreign nations, the warnings written in this book.
