- There is a most amiable spirit of piety in these reflections.
- Instead of expatiating on the praises of his munificent

- "putting such a thing in the king's heart;" and for all the
- assistance and favour shown him by the king and his

- Ahava is supposed to be the river Adiava, which, with the
- Diava, is said by Ammianus to have given name to Adiabene, a
- province of Assyria, through which they flowed into the
- Tigris. These rivers were also called respectively, Anzabas
- and Zabas, the Caprus and Lycus of Ptolemy; the former of
- which he places, at its source, in long. 79 degrees, lat. 39½
- degrees, and at its junction with the Tigris, in long. 79½
- degrees, lat. 36 degrees 6'; and the latter, at its source, in
- long 78 degrees, lat. 39 degrees; and where it falls into the
- Tigris, in long. 79 degrees, lat. 36½ degrees. They are now
- called the Great and Little Zab, or the Zabein, i.e., the two
- Zabs, which, says Ibn Haukal, "are considerable streams, each
- about half as large as the Dejleh (or Tigris). They rise
- among the mountains of Azerbaijan: of these, the larger is
- that which runs towards Haditheh. These streams form part of
- the Tigris, and water the district of Semerah."

- Casiphia is supposed to denote the Caspian mountains, between

- be far from Ahava.

- The Syriac renders, {nechosho korinthyo tovo,} "good

- burning of Corinth by Lucius Mummius, which was, as is
- generally supposed, brass, copper, silver, and gold, melted
- together. Sir J. Chardin, however, in a MS. note, cited by
- Harmer, mentioned a factitious metal used in the East, and
- highly esteemed there, which might probably be of an origin as
- ancient as Ezra. He says, "I have heard some Dutch gentlemen
- speak of a metal in the island of Sumatra, and among the
- Macassars, much more esteemed than gold, which royal
- personages alone are privileged to wear. It is a mixture, if
- I remember right, of gold and steel, or copper and steel." He
- afterwards added, "calmbac is the name of this metal, which is
- composed of gold and copper."

- Ezra and his company had now entered upon a journey of several
- hundred miles through the desert, which they were nearly four
- months in completing, encumbered with families and
- possessions, and carrying large treasures with them, which
- would invite the attempts of the Arabian hordes, and others,
- that infested that neighbourhood; yet, having declared to the
- king, "that the hand of God was upon all them for good that
- seek him, and that his power and wrath were against all them
- that forsook him," (ver. 22,) he determined to travel without
- a guard, except that of the Almighty, being ashamed to ask any
- other, after his former avowed confidence in Him! Having,
- therefore, humbled themselves before the Lord, and besought
- his guidance and protection, he was intreated by them, their
- enemies were restrained or disabled, and they arrived
- unmolested at Jerusalem.
