We first hear of this people in the Assyrian cuneiform records ,
under the name of Amada ,
about B .
C .
840 .
They appear to have been a branch of the Aryans ,
who came from the east bank of the Indus ,
and were probably the predominant race for a while in the Mesopotamian valley .
They consisted for three or four centuries of a number of tribes ,
each ruled by its own chief ,
who at length were brought under the Assyrian yoke (
2 Kings 17 :
6 ).
From this subjection they achieved deliverance ,
and formed themselves into an empire under Cyaxares (
B .
C .
633 ).
This monarch entered into an alliance with the king of Babylon ,
and invaded Assyria ,
capturing and destroying the city of Nineveh (
B .
C .
625 ),
thus putting an end to the Assyrian monarchy (
Nah .
1 :
8 ;
2 :
5 ,
6 ;
3 :
13 ,
14 ).
Media now rose to a place of great power ,
vastly extending its boundaries .
But it did not long exist as an independent kingdom .
It rose with Cyaxares ,
its first king ,
and it passed away with him ;
for during the reign of his son and successor Astyages ,
the Persians waged war against the Medes and conquered them ,
the two nations being united under one monarch ,
Cyrus the Persian (
B .
C .
558 ).
The "
cities of the Medes "
are first mentioned in connection with the deportation of the Israelites on the destruction of Samaria (
2 Kings 17 :
6 ;
18 :
11 ).
Soon afterwards Isaiah (
13 :
17 ;
21 :
2 )
speaks of the part taken by the Medes in the destruction of Babylon (
comp .
Jer .
51 :
11 ,
28 ).
Daniel gives an account of the reign of Darius the Mede ,
who was made viceroy by Cyrus (
Dan .
6 :
1 -
28 ).
The decree of Cyrus ,
Ezra informs us (
6 :
2 -
5 ),
was found in "
the palace that is in the province of the Medes ,"
Achmetha or Ecbatana of the Greeks ,
which is the only Median city mentioned in Scripture .
