All *these* did Sheshbazzar bring up with *them of* the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.* [2 Chronicles 36](/study/2-chronicles/36) [Ezra 2](/study/ezra/2) ## Commentary To verse 1 **Now in the:** [2 Chronicles 36:22](/kjv/2-chronicles/36/22), [2 Chronicles 36:23](/kjv/2-chronicles/36/23) **Cyrus:** Cyrus is said to have been the son of Cambyses, king of Persia, and Mandane, daughter of Astyages, king of Media: he was born about 600 years before Christ, and died at the age of 70, after a reign of 30 years. He was mentioned by name, and his conquests foretold, by the prophet Isaiah, about a century before his birth. Josephus states the partiality he evinced towards the Jews, arose from the circumstance of these prophecies being shown him, probably by Daniel. **by the mouth:** [Jeremiah 25:12-14](/kjv/jeremiah/25/12-14), [Jeremiah 29:10](/kjv/jeremiah/29/10), [Jeremiah 33:7-13](/kjv/jeremiah/33/7-13) **the Lord:** [Ezra 5:13-15](/kjv/ezra/5/13-15), [Ezra 6:22](/kjv/ezra/6/22), [Ezra 7:27](/kjv/ezra/7/27), [Psalms 106:46](/kjv/psalms/106/46), [Proverbs 21:1](/kjv/proverbs/21/1), [Daniel 2:1](/kjv/daniel/2/1) **made a proclamation:** Heb. caused a voice to pass, [Matthew 3:1-3](/kjv/matthew/3/1-3), [John 1:23](/kjv/john/1/23) **Reciprocal:** [Deuteronomy 30:3](/kjv/deuteronomy/30/3) -
