George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezra 7:12

Kings. This title was placed on the tomb of Cyrus, (Strabo xv.) and denoted a very powerful king. Artaxerxes had many tributaries in Media, Sidon, &c.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 7:11-26

11-26 The liberality of heathen kings to support the worship of God, reproached the conduct of many kings of Judah, and will rise up in judgment against the covetousness of wealthy professed Christians, who will not promote the cause of God. But the weapons of Christian ministers are not carnal. Faithful preaching, holy lives, fervent prayers, and patient suffering when called to it, are the means to bring men into obedience to Christ. read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Ezra 7:1-99

Ezra 7 IT WAS AFTER these things, as the first verse of chapter 7 tells us, that Ezra the priest with Levitical companions left Babylon and went up to Jerusalem. It was in the seventh year of that Artaxerxes, under whom thirteen years later Nehemiah went up. Ezra's genealogy was clearly known. and it is given in the first 5 verses, showing him to be truly descended from Aaron, the first high priest. This fact qualified him for the place he was about to take. He had the further qualification of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ezra 7:1-18

a Missionary Journey Ezra 7:1-18 An interval of sixty years intervened between the events of Ezra 6:1-22 and Ezra 7:1-28 , and in that time the history recorded in the book of Esther took place. This chapter is full of helpful thoughts. Note the description of Ezra’s character- A ready scribe - Ezra 7:6 . He not only knew the Law, but he set his heart to seek and do , Ezra 7:10 . The only way to understand Scripture is to be prepared to do it. What a contrast to Matthew 23:3 ! Let us not... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezra 7:1-28

Here begins the second section of the Book, that which gathers around the doings of Ezra. Between the close of the last chapter and the commencement of this sixty years had passed away. To a very great extent they were uneventful years in the history of the people settled in Jerusalem. That they had largely failed in the realization of the purposes of Zerubbabel is evident from the work done by Ezra, subsequently by Nehemiah. This chapter tells of the coming of Ezra, and there are two verses... read more
