persia <2CH36 -20> And them that had escaped from the sword

carried

he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons

until the reign of the kingdom of {Persia}:

persia <2CH36 -22> Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia,

that the word of the LORD [spoken] by the mouth of Jeremiah

might be

accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of

{Persia}, that he made a proclamation throughout all his k

ingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,

persia <2CH36 -22> Now in the first year of Cyrus king of

{Persia},

that the word of the LORD [spoken] by the mouth of Jeremiah

might be

accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of

Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his k

ingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,

persia <2CH36 -23> Thus saith Cyrus king of {Persia}, All the

kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and

he

hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which [is] in

Judah. Who [is there] among you of all his people? The LORD

his God [be] with him, and let him go up.

persia <EZR1 -1> Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia,

that

the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled,

the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of {Persia}, that he

made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [p

ut it] also in writing, saying,

persia <EZR1 -1> Now in the first year of Cyrus king of {Persia},

that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be

fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of

Persia,

that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [p

ut it] also in writing, saying,

persia <EZR1 -2> Thus saith Cyrus king of {Persia}, The LORD God

of

heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath

charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which [is] in

Judah.

persia <EZR1 -8> Even those did Cyrus king of {Persia} bring

forth

by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto

Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.

persia <EZR3 -7> They gave money also unto the masons, and to the

carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon,

and to

them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of

Joppa,

according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king

of {Persia}.

persia <EZR4 -3> But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the

chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing

to

do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves

together

will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus

the king of {Persia} hath commanded us.

persia <EZR4 -5> And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate

their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of {Persia}, even until

the reign of Darius king of Persia.

persia <EZR4 -5> And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate

their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until

the

reign of Darius king of {Persia}.

persia <EZR4 -7> And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam,

Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto

Artaxerxes king of {Persia}; and the writing of the letter [was]

written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian

tongue.

persia <EZR4 -24> Then ceased the work of the house of God which

[is] at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the

reign of

Darius king of {Persia}.

persia <EZR6 -14> And the elders of the Jews builded, and they

prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and

Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished [it],

according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according

to

the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of

{Persia}.

persia <EZR7 -1> Now after these things, in the reign of

Artaxerxes

king of {Persia}, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah,

the

son of Hilkiah,

persia <EZR9 -9> For we [were] bondmen; yet our God hath not

forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in

the

sight of the kings of {Persia}, to give us a reviving, to set up

the

house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, a

nd to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.

persia <EST1 -3> In the third year of his reign, he made a feast

unto all his princes and his servants; the power of {Persia} and

Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, [being] before

him:

persia <EST1 -14> And the next unto him [was] Carshena, Shethar,

Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, [and] Memucan, the seven

princes

of {Persia} and Media, which saw the king's face, [and] which sat

the first in the kingdom;)

persia <EST1 -18> Likewise] shall the ladies of {Persia} and

Media

say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the

deed of the queen. Thus [shall there arise] too much contempt and

wrath.

persia <EST10 -2> And all the acts of his power and of his might,

and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the

king

advanced him, [are] they not written in the book of the

chronicles

of the kings of Media and {Persia}?

persia <EZE27 -10> They of {Persia} and of Lud and of Phut were

in

thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in

thee; they set forth thy comeliness.

persia <EZE38 -5> {Persia}, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of

them with shield and helmet:

persia <DAN8 -20> The ram which thou sawest having [two] horns

[are]

the kings of Media and {Persia}.

persia <DAN10 -1> In the third year of Cyrus king of {Persia} a

thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called

Belteshazzar;

and the thing [was] true, but the time appointed [was] long: and

he

understood the thing, and had understanding of the visi

on.

persia <DAN10 -13> But the prince of the kingdom of Persia

withstood

me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief

princes,

came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of {Persia}.

persia <DAN10 -13> But the prince of the kingdom of {Persia}

withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the

chief

princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of

Persia.

persia <DAN10 -20> Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come

unto

thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of {Persia}:

and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.

persia <DAN11 -2> And now will I show thee the truth. Behold,

there

shall stand up yet three kings in {Persia}; and the fourth shall

be

far richer than [they] all: and by his strength through his

riches

he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
