Bible Question (short): Ezra , Artaxerxes comes before Darius |
Question (full): I think you misunderstand my question. It is not Darius who I'm questioning it is Artaxerxes. He wrote the letter to stop work on the temple, Artaxerxes wasn't king until 465 BC that's 50 years after the temple was completed. How could Artaxerxes stop the building. At this period in time he would probably still be a child, considering he reigned until 424 BC. Which would mean if he was 1 year old in 519 BC he would have been 95 years old at the end of his reign |
