Barnes' Notes
The title, "king of kings," is assumed by almost all the persian monarchs in their inscriptions.
Perfect peace - " Peace" is not in the original, and the word translated "perfect" occurs only in this place. Some prefer to take it as an adjective descriptive of Ezra (see margin); others (Septuagint) as the opening word of the first paragraph of the letter, and give it the meaning, "it is completed."
