Daniel 5:31
_ _ Darius the Median — that is, Cyaxares II, the son and successor of Astyages, 569-536 b.c. Though Koresh, or Cyrus, was leader of the assault, yet all was done in the name of Darius; therefore, he alone is mentioned here; but Daniel 6:28 shows Daniel was not ignorant of Cyrus’ share in the capture of Babylon. Isaiah 13:17; Isaiah 21:2, confirm Daniel in making the Medes the leading nation in destroying Babylon. So also Jeremiah 51:11, Jeremiah 51:28. Herodotus, on the other hand, omits mentioning Darius, as that king, being weak and sensual, gave up all the authority to his energetic nephew, Cyrus [Xenophon, Cyropaedia, 1.5; 8.7].
_ _ threescore and two years old — This agrees with Xenophon [Cyropaedia, 8.5, 19], as to Cyaxares II. |
Daniel 5:31
Darius the Mede — This was he that with Cyrus besieged and took Babylon. |

- Darius:
- This was Cyaxares, son of Astyages, king of Media, and maternal uncle to Cyrus, who allowed him the title of his conquests, as long as he lived.
