Genesis 10:8–12
Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth. / He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.” / His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Micah 5:6
And they will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the blade drawn. So He will deliver us when Assyria invades our land and marches into our borders.
