SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:20

y que reyes fuertes hubo en Jerusalén, y señores de todo lo que está al lado de allá del río; y que tributo, y pecho, y rentas se les daba.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 4:20

Verse 20. Beyond the
river] That is, the Euphrates. Both David and Solomon carried their conquests beyond this river. See 2 Sam. viii. 3, &c., and 1 Kings iv. 21, where it is said, Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river (Euphrates) unto the land of the Philistines; and unto the borders of Egypt.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 20. There have been mighty kings also over
Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river , etc.] As David and Solomon; and the account of these they had in their records, (see 2 Samuel 8:1 Kings 4:21,24) and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them ; as appears from the places referred to; and this served to strengthen the insinuation made to the king, that if these people were suffered to go on building, he would lose his tribute and taxes in those parts.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-24 - It is an old slander, that the prosperity of the
church would be hurtful to kings and princes. Nothing can be more false, for tru godliness teaches us to honour and obey our sovereign. But where the command of God requires one thing and the law of the land another, we must obey God rather than man, and patiently submit to the consequences. All who love the gospel should avoid all appearance of evil, lest they should encourage the adversaries of the church. The world is ever ready to believe any accusation against the people of God, and refuses to listen to them. The king suffered himself to be imposed upon by these frauds and falsehoods. Princes see and hear with other men's eyes and ears, and judge things as represented to them which are often done falsely. But God's judgment is just; he see things as they are __________________________________________________________________
