The mobilization continues and clarifies: the 'kings of the Medes' head the coalition, with their captains and rulers under command. 'All the land of his dominion' indicates the entire Median-Persian domain mobilizes as one force. This is not a sporadic raid but a comprehensive military campaign with unified command.
The hierarchy of authority is clear: Median kings at the top, with captains and rulers as subordinate leaders. The phrase 'all the land of his dominion' emphasizes the scope—not just professional armies but the entire resources of the empire. This mobilization against Babylon is total and coordinated.
