Excerpt from Benaiah: A Tale of the Captivity
Great Babylon had indeed sat as a queen among the nations, and had a wide dominion. Her power was great, and she had been employed in the hand of the Almighty Ruler of the earth as a hammer, wherewith He broke in pieces many other nations. But her pride and her sins brought upon her a heavy chastisement and she was her self cut asunder and broken.
Cyrus the Great commenced the work of desolation and just retribution. By the hands of his soldiers Babylon was taught to mourn the loss of her children, in her streets and in her provinces. Darius followed in his steps, and carried still further the appointed work of vengeance. We are told that he not only slew a multitude of the inhabitants of the glorious city, and put to death of her chief men, but he also broke down the outer walls, which have been so celebrated in ancient history; and thus commenced that desolation which the Lord had so long threatened, and which was afterwards so signally and so literally fulfilled.
