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 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 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of {Persia},

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

Persia,

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

ut it] also in writing, saying,

persia 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 {Persia}, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of

them with shield and helmet:

persia The ram which thou sawest having [two] horns
[are]

the kings of Media and {Persia}.

persia 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 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 But the prince of the kingdom of {Persia}

Persia.

persia 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 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.
