Nimrod:
(rebellion; or the valiant) a son of Cush and grandson of Ham. The events of his life are recorded in Genesis 10:8, ff., from which we learn
(1). that he was a Cushite;
(2). that he established an empire in Shinar (the classical Babylonia) the chief towns being Babel, Erech, Accad and Calneh; and
(3). that he extended this empire northward along the course of the Tigris over Assyria, where he founded a second group of capitals, Nineveh, Rehoboth, Calah and Resen.
