ירמיהו, פרק כ״ה, פסוק כ״ה

The sweeping military campaigns of the Babylonian empire reshaped the ancient world, bringing distant lands under a single rule. Nebuchadnezzar's imperial borders expanded vastly, pushing well beyond the land of Judah and the familiar territories of the Fertile Crescent to reach nations located far away [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Included among these remote conquered realms are the kings of Zimri. These rulers are thought to trace their ancient lineage back to Zimran, one of the sons born to Keturah [רד״ק].
