[10] And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, by descent a Mede, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans --
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom 120 satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom;
I set a snare for you and you were taken, O Babylon, and you did not know it; you were found and caught, because you opposed the LORD.
PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."[9]
And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
I will bring upon that land all the words that I have uttered against it, everything written in this book, which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations.
