{Ezra 7:27} Blessed 1288 z8803 [be] the LORD 3068 God 430 of our fathers, 1 which x834 hath put 5414 z8804 [such a thing] as this x2063 in the king's 4428 heart, 3820 to beautify 6286 z8763 x853 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 which x834 [is] in Jerusalem: 3389
Blessed:
There is a most amiable spirit of piety in these reflections. Instead of expatiating on the praises of his munificent patron, or boasting of his own services, he blesses God for "putting such a thing in the king's heart;" and for all the assistance and favour shown him by the king and his counsellors. "And keptª° the feastª of unleavened breadª sevenª daysª with joy:ª for¹ the LORDª had made them joyful,ª° and turnedª° the heartª of the kingª of Assyriaª unto¹ them, to strengthenª° their handsª in the workª of the houseª of God,ª the Godª of Israel.ª" {Ezr 6:22} + "Wherefore Davidª blessedª°¹ the LORDª beforeª all¹ the congregation:ª and Davidª said,ª° Blessedª° [be] thou,¹ LORDª Godª of Israelª our father,ª for² everª¹ and ever.ª¹ ... With¹ all¹ his reignª and his might,ª and the timesª that¹ went overª°¹ him, and over¹ Israel,ª and over¹ all¹ the kingdomsª of the countries.ª" {1Ch 29:10-30} + "Butª I rejoicedª° inª the Lordª greatly,ª thatª nowª at the lastª your careª°²° ofª meª hath flourished again;ª° whereinªª ye were²° alsoª careful,ª° butª ye lacked opportunity.ª°" {Php 4:10}
put such:
"And keptª° the feastª of unleavened breadª sevenª daysª with joy:ª for¹ the LORDª had made them joyful,ª° and turnedª° the heartª of the kingª of Assyriaª unto¹ them, to strengthenª° their handsª in the workª of the houseª of God,ª the Godª of Israel.ª" {Ezr 6:22} + "And I aroseª° in the night,ª I¹ and some² fewª men²¹ with¹ me; neither¹ toldª° I [any] manª what¹ my Godª had putª° in¹ my heartª to doª° at Jerusalem:ª neither¹ [was there any] beastª with¹ me, save¹¹ the beastª that¹ I¹ rode¹ upon.²°" {Neh 2:12} + "And my Godª putª° into¹ mine heartª to gather togetherª°¹ the nobles,ª and the rulers,ª and the people,ª that they might be reckoned by genealogy.ª° And I foundª° a registerª of the genealogyª of them which came upª° at the first,ª and foundª° writtenª° therein," {Neh 7:5} + "Butª thanksª [be] to God,ª which² putª° the¹ sameª earnest careª intoª the¹ heartª of Titusª forª you.ª" {2Co 8:16} + "Forª thisª [is] the¹ covenantª thatª I will makeª° with the¹ houseª of Israelª afterª thoseª days,ª saithª° the Lord;ª I will putª° myª lawsª intoª theirª mind,ª andª writeª° themª inª theirª hearts:ª andª I will beª° to² themª a¹ God,ª andª theyª shall beª° to² meª a¹ people:ª" {Hbr 8:10} + "Thisª [is] the¹ covenantª thatª I will makeª° withª themª afterª thoseª days,ª saithª° the Lord,ª I will putª° myª lawsª intoª theirª hearts,ª andª inª theirª mindsª will I writeª° them;ª" {Hbr 10:16} + "Everyª goodª giftª andª everyª perfectª giftª isª° from above,ª and cometh downª° fromª the¹ Fatherª of lights,ª withª whomª isª° noª variableness,ª neitherª shadowª of turning.ª" {Jms 1:17} + "Forª Godª hath putª° inª their²¹ heartsª to fulfilª° his²¹ will,ª andª to agree,ªªª° andª giveª° their²¹ kingdomª unto the¹ beast,ª untilª the¹ wordsª of Godª shall be fulfilled.ª°" {Rev 17:17}
in the king's heart:
"And a letterª unto¹ Asaphª the keeperª° of the king'sª forest,ª that¹ he may giveª° me timberª to make beamsª° for¹ the gatesª of the palaceª which¹ [appertained] to the house,ª and for the wallª of the city,ª and for the houseª that¹ I shall enter¹ into.²°¹ And the kingª grantedª° me, according to the goodª handª of my Godª upon¹ me." {Neh 2:8} + "The king'sª heartª [is] in the handª of the LORD,ª [as] the riversª of water:ª he turnethª° it whithersoever¹¹¹ he will.ª°" {Prv 21:1}
to beautify:
"The gloryª of Lebanonª shall comeª° unto¹ thee, the fir tree,ª the pine tree,ª and the boxª together,ª to beautifyª° the placeª of my sanctuary;ª and I will make the placeª of my feetª glorious.ª°" {Isa 60:13}
