Barnes' Notes
The king of Assyria - i. e., Darius. Assyria had so long been the great monarchy of western Asia that the sacred writers continue the title to those who had inherited the old Assyrian power, as first to the Babylonians II Kings 23:29, and secondly to the Persians. With similar inexactness we find Herodotus calling Cyrus "king of the Medes."
