In the holy Scriptures the land of Assyria is early brought to our notice, so that we are not surprised to find the Assyrian has a prominent place in the ways of God with His people. From Genesis 2:13 we learn that one of the four heads of Eden's river was the river Hiddekel, "which goeth toward the east of Assyria." Nimrod, who established the first of the world's kingdoms, began his building at Babel, then moved into Assyria and built Nineveh. The Assyrian race is doubtless descended from Asshur, the second son of Shem, the son of Noah (Gen. 10:22).
