- Ararat.
  Bochart reasonably concludes Ararat and Minni to be the
  greater and lesser Armenia; and Ashchenaz he thinks formed
  part of Phrygia near the Hellespont, part of that country
  being called Ascania by Homer.  Cyrus had conquered Armenia,
  defeated Croesus king of Lydia, (B.C. 548,) and subdued
  several nations from the Egean sea to the Euphrates, before
  he marched against Babylon; and Xenophon also informs us that
  there were not only Armenians, but both Phrygians and
  Cappadocians in the army of Cyrus.

  After Cyrus had been the instrument in the hands of God of
  taking Babylon, he marched against Tomyris, queen of the
  Massaget', a Scythian nation, and was totally defeated, (B.C.
  530.)  The victorious queen, who had lost her son in a
  previous battle, was so incensed against Cyrus, that she cut
  off his head, and threw it into a vessel filled with human
  blood, exclaiming, "Sattia te sanguine, quem sitisti."

VERSE 30 
 - The mighty.
  Accordingly, the Babylonians, after the loss of a battle or
  two, never recovered their courage to the face the enemy in
  the field, they retired within their walls; and the first
  time that Cyrus came with his army before the place he could
  not provoke them to venture forth, though he challenged the
  king to fight a duel with him; and the last time he came he
  consulted with his officers respecting the best mode of
  carrying on  the siege "since," said he, "they do not come
  out to fight."
