BSB(i)
8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
10 His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 From that land he went forth into Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.
