Genesis 10:8-12 TPT

Cush also had a son named Nimrod, who became known as the first mighty conqueror. He was a mighty despot before YAHWEH. There was a saying, “Like Nimrod, a mighty despot before YAHWEH.” The centers of his kingdom , Babel, Erech, and Akkad, were in the land of Shinar. From there, he went into Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen (which is between the great city of Calah and Nineveh).
