Ezra 7:27-28
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. 6:22; 1Ch 29:10-30; Php 4:10put such.6:22; Ne 2:12; 7:5; 2Co 8:16; Heb 8:10; 10:16; Jas 1:17; Re 17:17in the king's heart.Ne 2:8; Pr 21:1to beautify.Isa 60:13 extended.9:9; Ge 32:28; 43:14; Ne 1:11his counsellors.14; Jon 3:7And I was strengthened.In what the king decreed he saw the hand of God: he therefore gave Him the praise, and took courage. as the hand.6,9; 5:5; 8:18; Ne 2:8; 2Ti 4:17,18Nehemiah 1:11

To be in such a place of trust he must have been in the king's confidence; for no eastern potentate would have a cup-bearer to whom he could not trust his life, poison being often administered in that way. It was an office much desired, because it gave access to the king in those seasons of hilarity when men are most disposed to grant favours. 2:1; Ge 40:2,9-13,21,23; 41:9Nehemiah 2:4
