SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:22
Y celebraron la solemnidad de los panes ázimos siete días con alegría, por cuanto el SEÑOR los había alegrado, y había convertido el corazón del rey de Asiria a ellos, para esforzar sus manos en la obra de la Casa de Dios, del Dios de Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 6:22
Verse 22. Turned the heart of the king of Assyria] I am of Calmet's mind, that king of Assyria is here put for king of Persia. Cyrus and his successors possessed all the rights and estates of the ancient kings of Assyria, and therefore the same monarch may be styled king of Assyria as well as king of Persia. DARIUS had a very high character, as a wise, just, and merciful prince. To strengthen his title to the crown, he married two of the daughters of Cyrus, and, no doubt, to show his affection to this family, he the more cheerfully confirmed the edict which Cyrus had made in favour of the Jews.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy , etc.] Which immediately followed upon the passover, ( Exodus 12:18,19), for the Lord had made them joyful ; the building of the temple being finished, and the service of it restored to its original purity; and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel ; by giving them leave to go on in building the temple, and by encouraging and assisting them in it till they had finished it; this was Darius Artaxerxes, who, though called king of Persia, was also king of Assyria, being possessed of the Assyrian monarchy, as his predecessors were upon the taking of Babylon, and the same is therefore called also the king of Babylon, ( Nehemiah 13:6). God, the God of Israel, who has the hearts of all men in his hands, and so the hearts of kings, and can turn them at his pleasure, inclined his heart to do them good, which was matter of joy unto them, (see Ezra 7:27).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-22 - The gospel church, that spiritual temple, is long in the building, but it will be finished at last, when the mystical body is completed. Ever believer is a living temple, building up himself in his most holy faith: much opposition is given to this work by Satan and our ow corruptions. We trifle, and proceed in it with many stops and pauses but He that has begun the good work, will see it performed. The spirits of just men will be made perfect. By getting their sins take away, the Jews would free themselves from the sting of their lat troubles. Their service was with joy. Let us welcome holy ordinance with joy, and serve the Lord with gladness __________________________________________________________________
