Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. The descendants who came from these three sons are set out in Genesis 10. In reading through these lines of descent one person is set forth in particular in the line of Ham. Ham begat Cush and Cush begat Nimrod (Genesis 10:6-8). This Nimrod was a "mighty one in the earth" (v8) and in his military might he set up a kingdom. This is the first kingdom mentioned in the Bible and it had its capital at Babel (margin "Greek, Babylon"), in the land of Shinar (v10). Thus Nimrod ascribed to himself power and authority over his fellow man and ruled them. This kingdom became the seat of apostate worship which still persisted in the days of Daniel the prophet (Daniel 1:1-2).
