Ezr_5:11 And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.

Ver. 11. We are the servants of the God of heaven] And in that respect, higher than all the kings on the earth, Psa_89:27 (for all his servants are sons, heirs of God, and co-heirs with Christ, Rom_8:17), who have held it no small honour to be called his vassals. See how bold these brave men bear themselves upon this relation to the God of heaven and earth, and how courageously they stand to their work, and stout it out with their adversaries. {See Trapp on "Pro_28:1"}

These many years ago] Five hundred at least.
