Berean Study Bible

King Cyrus
The mention of King Cyrus is significant in the biblical narrative as he is seen as a divinely appointed leader who fulfills God's promise to restore His people. Historically, Cyrus the Great was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire and is known for his policy of religious tolerance and restoration. In Isaiah 45:1, Cyrus is referred to as the Lord's anointed, indicating his role in God's plan for Israel. His decree to return the exiles and restore the temple articles underscores his unique position in biblical history as a Gentile king used by God to accomplish His purposes.

brought out
This phrase indicates an action of restoration and return. The Hebrew root for "brought out" is "yatsa," which often implies a deliverance or bringing forth. In this context, it signifies the reversal of the exile's effects and the beginning of a new chapter for the Israelites. It is a physical act that symbolizes spiritual renewal and the faithfulness of God in restoring what was lost.

the articles belonging to the house of the LORD
These articles were sacred objects used in the worship and service of God in the temple. Their return is not merely about physical items but represents the restoration of proper worship and the reestablishment of the covenant relationship between God and His people. The articles' return signifies the renewal of spiritual life and the importance of worship in the community of faith.

which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem
Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king, had previously conquered Jerusalem and taken these sacred articles as spoils of war. This act was a profound symbol of the judgment and exile of God's people. The historical context here is the Babylonian captivity, a period of great trial and reflection for the Israelites. The mention of Nebuchadnezzar serves as a reminder of past disobedience and the consequences of turning away from God.

and placed in the temple of his gods
This phrase highlights the desecration and misuse of what was holy. The articles, once used in the worship of Yahweh, were placed in a pagan temple, symbolizing the triumph of Babylonian gods over the God of Israel. However, the return of these items under Cyrus's decree demonstrates God's sovereignty and the ultimate futility of idolatry. It is a powerful reminder that God will not share His glory with another and that He is faithful to restore His people and His worship.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 7. - The vessels. Probably all that he could find, yet scarcely all that had been taken away, since many of these were of bronze (2 Kings 25:14), and the restored vessels seem to have been, all of them, either of gold or silver (see ver. 11). Which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth. The carrying off of sacred vessels, as well as images, from temples is often represented in the Assyrian sculptures. It was a practice even of the Romans, and is commemorated on the Pillar of Titus, where the seven-branched candlestick of the Jewish temple is represented as borne in triumph by Roman soldiers. And had put them in the house of his gods. Elohayv, which is the form used in the text, can only mean "his god," not his gods. Nebuchadnezzar represents himself, in his inscriptions generally, as a special devotee of a single Babylonian god, Merodach, whose temple, called by the Greeks that of Bel, is no doubt here intended (comp. Daniel 1:2).
