Cyrus is said to have been the son of Cambyses, king of
Persia, and Mandane, daughter of Astyages, king of Media: he
was born about 600; years before Christ, and died at the age of
70, after a reign of 30; years. He was mentioned by name, and
his conquests foretold, by the prophet Isaiah, about a century
before his birth. Josephus states the partiality he evinced
towards the Jews, arose from the circumstance of these
prophecies being shown him, probably by Daniel.
