5. even in those days king Nebuchadnezzar made war with king Arphaxad in the great plain: this plain is in the borders of Ragau.
6. And there came to meet him all that lived in the hill country, and all that lived by Euphrates, and Tigris, and Hydaspes, and in the plain of Arioch the king of the Elymaeans; and many nations of the sons of Chelod assembled themselves to the battle.
7. And Nebuchadnezzar king of the Assyrians sent to all that lived in Persia, and to all that lived westward, to those that lived in Cilicia and Damascus and Libanus and Antilibanus, and to all that lived over against the sea coast,
8. and to those among the nations that were of Carmel and Gilead, and to the higher Galilee and the great plain of Esdraelon,
9. and to all that were in Samaria and the cities thereof, and beyond Jordan to Jerusalem, and Betane, and Chellus, and Kadesh, and the river of Egypt, and Tahpanhes, and Rameses, and all the land of Goshen,
10. until you come above Tanis and Memphis, and to all that lived in Egypt, until you come to the borders of Ethiopia.
11. And all they that lived in all the land made light of the commandment of Nebuchadnezzar king of the Assyrians, and went not with him to the war; for they were not afraid of him, but he was before them as one man; and they turned away his messengers from their presence without effect, and with disgrace.
