**isles** = coasts.

**power.** Hebrew. *tokeph.* See note on [Esther 8:11](../../../kjv/esther/8/11) .

**next** = the second = the Grand Vizier. Compare [Esther 8:2](../../../kjv/esther/8/2) .
**speaking peace** = maintaining peace.
**his seed:** i.e. the People of Israel. N. B. in Persia, not Judea. Thus was prepared the way for the emancipation of the Jews, which, not long after, was proclaimed by Cyrus ([Ezra 1:1](../../../kjv/ezra/1/1) ), the son of Astyages and Esther (see App-57 ), and is further proof that this book comes, chronologically, before the book Ezra-Nehemiah. N.B. the year 461 is the midway year of the Babylonian Servitude (496-426). See special note on [2 Chronicles 36:21](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/36/21) .
