The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 7:12

Artaxerxes, king of kings . "King of kings, kkshayathiya khshaya-thiyanam ," an equivalent of the modern shahinshah , was a recognised title of the Persian monarchs, and is found in every Persian inscription of any considerable length. It was a title that had been used occasionally, though not at all frequently, by the Assyrian monarchs, and naturally expressed the fact that those monarchs for the most part maintained the native princes on the thrones of the countries which they... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezra 7:12

The title, “king of kings,” is assumed by almost all the persian monarchs in their inscriptions.Perfect peace - “Peace” is not in the original, and the word translated “perfect” occurs only in this place. Some prefer to take it as an adjective descriptive of Ezra (see margin); others (Septuagint) as the opening word of the first paragraph of the letter, and give it the meaning, “it is completed.” read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezra 7:10

Ezra 7:10. For Ezra had prepared his heart, &c. He had set his mind and affections upon it, and made it his chief business. To seek the law of the Lord To search and find out the true sense and meaning of it, and thence to learn what sins or errors were to be reformed, and what duties were to be performed. And to do it, and to teach in Israel The order of things in this verse is very observable: first, he endeavours to understand God’s law and word, and that not for curiosity or... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezra 7:11

Ezra 7:11. This is the copy of the letter that the King Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra “It can hardly be supposed, but that some more than ordinary means were used to obtain so great a favour from Artaxerxes, as this commission was upon which Ezra went; and therefore we may suppose that it was granted at the solicitation of Esther; for this Artaxerxes was the Ahasuerus of Esther. She was become the best beloved of the king’s concubines, though not yet advanced to the dignity of queen; for, it... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezra 7:12

Ezra 7:12. Unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven Or, as the Hebrew may be rendered, a perfect scribe of the law, &c., a title which, it seems, Ezra delighted in, and desired no other; no, not when he was advanced to the proconsular dignity, and made the governor of a province. He reckoned it more to his honour to be a scribe of God’s law than to be a peer or prince of the empire. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezra 7:1-28

7:1-8:36 RETURN UNDER EZRAThe temple was completed in 516 BC. Ezra’s return was in 458 BC, the seventh year of the reign of Artaxerxes I (see 7:1,7). There is therefore a gap of about sixty years between Chapters 6 and 7. By the time of Ezra, former leaders such as Zerubbabel, Joshua, Haggai and Zechariah had died. Without their leadership, Israel’s religious life became weak and its community life disordered. The only detailed information that the Bible gives of events during these years is... read more
