3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “babylon” →
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be , that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
