Verse 4
Ezra 6:4 [With] three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house:
Ver. 4. Out of the king’s house] i.e. Out of the royal revenue in those parts, Ezra 7:20 . Herodotus testifieth that Cyrus and Darius (who married his daughter Atossa, and made him his pattern for imitation) were highly honoured among the Persians for their kingly munificence; God hath threatened that the nation and kingdom that will not serve the Church shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted, Isa 60:12 Ezra 6:12 .
