(1-10) A. general summary of Ezra's expedition under Divine guidance. (1) After these things.--Fifty-seven years after: this special phrase is here alone used. During the interval we must place the events of the Book of Esther. Ezra the son of Seraiah.--His lineage is given, as frequently in Scripture, compendiously, and according to the genealogical law which makes every ancestor a "father" and every descendant a "son." We know not the reason why certain names supplied in 1 Chronicles 6 are here omitted; but Seraiah is claimed as the father of Ezra because he was the eminent high priest who last ministered in Solomon's Temple and was slain at Riblah (2Kings 25:18). The links wanting in the lineage are easily supplied. Verse 1. - The writer makes a marked division between his first and second sections by means of the words, "Now after these things," which he uses in this place only. The actual interval seems to have been one of between fifty-seven and fifty-eight years, the sixth year of Darius being B.C. 516, and the seventh of Artaxerxes Longimanus B.C. 458. Artaxerxes is in the original "Artakhshatra," which reproduces the Persian Artakhshatra with the change of only one letter. That Longimanus, the grandson of Darius, is meant seems to follow from the fact that Eliashib, the grandson of Jeshua is high priest under him (Nehemiah 3:1).Darius, correspond to Jeshua, Xerxes correspond to Joiakim Artaxerxes correspond to Eliashib . . .
