Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 6:2
Verse 2. At Achmetha] Ecbatana in India, whither it is probable all the records of Cyrus had been carried. This was a sort of summer residence for the kings of Persia.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. And there was found at Achmetha , etc.] Which Jarchi and Aben Ezra take to be the name of a vessel in which letters and writings were put for safety; but it was no doubt the name of a place; the Vulgate Latin version has it Ecbatana; and so Josephus f53 ; which was the name of a city in Media, where the kings of that country had their residence in the summer time f54 ; for it has its name from heat f55 ; the Persian kings dwelt at Shushan in the winter, and at Ecbatana in the summer f56 ; hence they are compared by Aelian to cranes, birds of passage, because of their going to and from the above places: in the palace that is in the province of the Medes , here was found a roll ; which was the decree of Cyrus, which perhaps he took with him when he went thither: and therein was a record thus written ; as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-12 - When God's time is come for fulfilling his gracious purposes concernin his church, he will raise up instruments to do it, from whom such goo service was not expected. While our thoughts are directed to thi event, we are led by Zechariah to fix our regard on a nobler, spiritual building. The Lord Jesus Christ continues to lay one ston upon another: let us assist the great design. Difficulties delay the progress of this sacred edifice. Yet let not opposition discourage us for in due season it will be completed to his abundant praise. He shal bring forth the head-stone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grac unto it.
