Nim'rod. (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.
