SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:14
Porque de parte del rey y de sus siete consultores eres enviado a visitar (para reformar y corregir ) a Judea y a Jerusalén, conforme a la ley de tu Dios que está en tu mano;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 7:14
Verse 14. His seven counsellors] It is very likely that the privy counsel of the king consisted of seven persons simply. The names of these seven counsellors or chamberlains may be found in the book of Esther, Esth. i. 10.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors , etc.] Such a number the kings of Persia used to have from the times of Darius Hystaspis, who was chosen out of seven nobles to be king, and ever after the Persian kings had seven counsellors privileged, as those nobles were, ( Esther 1:14), and Ezra had the honour to be sent with a commission from this king and his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem ; the inhabitants thereof, whether they had knowledge of and behaved according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand ; a copy of which he had with him, and was very expert in and conversant with, and could readily and at once pass judgment whether they acted according to it or not.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-26 - The liberality of heathen kings to support the worship of God reproached the conduct of many kings of Judah, and will rise up i judgment against the covetousness of wealthy professed Christians, wh will not promote the cause of God. But the weapons of Christia ministers are not carnal. Faithful preaching, holy lives, ferven prayers, and patient suffering when called to it, are the means to bring men into obedience to Christ.
