AMPLIFIED 2015					Neh 11:23 For there was a ¹command from the [²Persian] king regarding the singers, as to their daily task.

Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

Some believe this refers to the regulations established by King David instead of the Persian king; however, Ezra 6:9, 10 records the fact that King Darius supplied appropriate items for sacrifice and requested daily prayers for "...the king and his sons." Artaxerxes may have continued this practice.

Artaxerxes.
