wherefore I] Even to shew what shall befall thy people, as it was told vers. 14. and now will I return] I will go afresh to oppose all the plots of the Kings of Persia against thy people, and at my parting thence, Alexander is to come in and to destroy the Empire of Persia. the prince of Grecia] Chap. 8. 21. At 120. years after this vision, great Alexander set on Asia. Now whereas Cyrus perished in the Scythian warres, soon after the hinderance of the Temple: and Cambyses soon after by a wound in the thigh, given by himselfe against his will: and Darius Hystaspis lived but 43. yeers (in Ctesias) aged about 20. yeers at Tomyris and Cyrus warre, and for Esthers sake had somewhat a longer reign that Darius her sonne (by the Jews) might be of some good years to help Judah, when he reigned in Xerxes absence, and still after: and Xerxes great army perished to the astonishment of all the world: we must in all these affairs consider the government of God by the army of heaven for Judah tearmed the armie of heaven: and how the Kings after Darius that built Jerusalem had somewhat better successe then the former: heathen stories may be used for a commentarie of this place.
