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. Ezra 6:22; 1 Chronicles 29:10-30; Philippians 4:10

put such: Ezra 6:22; Nehemiah 2:12, Nehemiah 7:5; 2 Corinthians 8:16; Hebrews 8:10, Hebrews 10:16; James 1:17; Revelation 17:17

in the king's heart: Nehemiah 2:8; Proverbs 21:1

to beautify: Isaiah 60:13
