SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:21
Y por mí el rey Artajerjes es dado mandamiento a todos los tesoreros que están al otro lado del río, que todo lo que os demandare Esdras sacerdote, escriba de la ley del Dios del cielo, se le conceda luego,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river , etc.] The receivers of his tribute, tax, and custom, beyond the river Euphrates, on the side towards the land of Israel: that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven ; (see Ezra 7:12), shall require of you, it be done speedily ; which seems at first a grant at large for whatsoever he should want or demand, but is limited and restrained by what follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 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 i judgment against the covetousness of wealthy professed Christians, wh will not promote the cause of God. But the weapons of Christia ministers are not carnal. Faithful preaching, holy lives, ferven prayers, and patient suffering when called to it, are the means to bring men into obedience to Christ.
