Ezra 7:26

And whosoever will not do the law of your God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

Verse 25 Read Chapter 7 Verse 27

Bede

AD 735

This Artaxerxes, who in his own way pays homage to God’s temple and priests with a most devout mind and offers willing service to him, like his predecessor Darius signifies Christian rulers. Nor should one marvel if we have said that the successors of Cyrus, who caused the Lord’s temple and city to be built, who loved and assisted his servants and law, contain a figure of Christian kings, since the Lord himself said through the prophet that Cyrus came as a figure of his own Son and deigned that Cyrus should be honored through his name: “Thus the Lord says to my anointed Cyrus,” and the other things about him that we have spoken about more extensively above.
