Contextual Overview
1Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I am going to stir up and put into action [a fury] against Babylon And against the [rebellious] people of Leb-kamai (Chaldea) A destroying wind and hostile spirit; 2And I will send foreigners to Babylon that they may winnow her And may devastate and empty her land; For in the day of destruction They will be against her on every side. 3"Do not let him (the Chaldean defender) who bends his bow bend it, Nor let him rise up in his coat of armor. So do not spare her young men; Devote her entire army to destruction. 4"They shall fall down dead in the land of the Chaldeans, And wounded in her streets." 5For neither Israel nor Judah has been abandoned By his God, the LORD of hosts, Though their land is full of sin and guilt Before the Holy One of Israel. 6Flee out of Babylon, Let every one of you save his life! Do not be destroyed in her punishment, For this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; He is going to pay her what she has earned. 7Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, Intoxicating all the earth. The nations drank her wine; Therefore the nations have gone mad. 8Babylon has suddenly fallen and is shattered! Wail for her [if you care to]! Get balm for her [incurable] pain; Perhaps she may be healed. 9We would have healed Babylon, but she was not to be healed. Abandon her and let each [captive] return to his own country, For her guilt and judgment have reached to heaven And are lifted up to the very skies. 10The LORD has brought about our vindication and has revealed the righteousness of our cause; Come and let us proclaim in Zion The work of the LORD our God!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Prepare against her the nations, with the kings of the Medes,.... At the head of them, Darius and Cyrus. The Syriac version has it in the singular number, the king of the Modes:
the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominions; that is, the inhabitants of it, the common people, with their princes, nobles, governors, as captains of them, under Cyrus, their generalissimo.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
His dominion - This belonged not to the subordinate rulers, but to the chief, e. g., to Cyrus.
