11 But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the commandment of Nebuchadnez´zar king of the Assyrians, neither went they with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of him: yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace.
12 Therefore Nebuchadnez´zar was very angry with all this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he would surely be avenged upon all those coasts of Cili´cia, and Damascus, and Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all Judah, and all that were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas.
13 Then he marched in battle array with his power against king Arphax´ad in the seventeenth year, and he prevailed in his battle: for he overthrew all the power of Arphax´ad, and all his horsemen, and all his chariots,
14 and became lord of his cities, and came unto Ecbatana, and took the towers, and spoiled the streets thereof, and turned the beauty thereof into shame.
15 He took also Arphax´ad in the mountains of Ragau, and smote him through with his darts, and destroyed him utterly that day.
16 So he returned afterward to Nin´eveh, both he and all his company of sundry nations, being a very great multitude of men of war, and there he took his ease, and banqueted, both he and his army, an hundred and twenty days.
