The War between Nebuchadnezzar and Arphaxad

1 While King Nebuchadnezzar was ruling over the Assyrians from his capital city of Nineveh, King Arphaxad ruled over the Medes from his capital city of Ecbatana. ² Around Ecbatana King Arphaxad built a wall 105 feet high and 75 feet thick of cut stones; each stone was 4 1/2 feet thick and 9 feet long. ³ At each gate he built a tower 150 feet high, with a foundation 90 feet thick.
