1 | Ezra , Artaxerxes comes before Darius | Ezra 4:23 | power_of_grace | 127496 | ||
Ezra 4:23 states As soon as the copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum and Shimshai the secretary and their associates they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and compeled them by force to stop. Ezra 4:24 Thus the work on the house of God in Jerusalem came to a standstill until the 2nd year of the regin of Darius King of Persia. What I don't understand is Darius reigned from 521 to 486 BC the Temple was completed in 516 BC King Artaxerxes reigned from 465 to 424 BC. How could Artaxerxes give the order to stop work on the temple some 50 plus years before he became King. |
