And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be mighty upon the earth.
Genesis 10:8-12
8
And Cush hath begotten Nimrod;
9
he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, 'As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.'
10
And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;
11
from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,
12
and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city.
Micah 5:6
And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And he hath delivered from Asshur when he doth come into our land, And when he treadeth in our borders.
