| About 70 years later, God gave rise to the Medo-Persian Empire, led by Cyrus the Persian and Darius the Mede, to bring about the fall of Babylon. |
| The Mede and the Persian did not, however, meet it with cold logic. |
| The name has something of Greek in it, and it is said he was a Mede. |
| Born in Mede, he lived with his wife and children in a modest group of houses built in the traditional style and situated on the outskirts of the village. |
| Nahum the Mede said to them, Would ye have vowed to be Nazirites had ye known that the Temple was destroyed? |
| And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about three score and two years old. |
