Lagipula mereka merayakan hari raya Roti Tidak Beragi dengan sukacita, tujuh hari lamanya, karena TUHAN telah membuat mereka bersukacita; Ia telah memalingkan hati raja negeri Asyur kepada mereka, sehingga raja membantu mereka dalam pekerjaan membangun rumah Allah, yakni Allah Israel.
Maka dipegangnya masa raya fatir tujuh hari lamanya dengan sukacitanya; karena Tuhan sudah menyukakan hati mereka itu, tegal digerakkannya hati baginda raja Asyur kepada mereka itu akan menguatkan tangannya kepada pekerjaan bait-Ullah, yaitu Allah orang Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy,.... Which immediately followed upon the passover, Exodus 12:18,
for the Lord had made them joyful; the building of the temple being finished, and the service of it restored to its original purity;
and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel; by giving them leave to go on in building the temple, and by encouraging and assisting them in it till they had finished it; this was Darius Artaxerxes, who, though called king of Persia, was also king of Assyria, being possessed of the Assyrian monarchy, as his predecessors were upon the taking of Babylon, and the same is therefore called also the king of Babylon, Nehemiah 13:6. God, the God of Israel, who has the hearts of all men in his hands, and so the hearts of kings, and can turn them at his pleasure, inclined his heart to do them good, which was matter of joy unto them, see Ezra 7:27.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The king of Assyria - i. e., Darius. Assyria had so long been the great monarchy of western Asia that the sacred writers continue the title to those who had inherited the old Assyrian power, as first to the Babylonians 2 Kings 23:29, and secondly to the Persians. With similar inexactness we find Herodotus calling Cyrus “king of the Medes.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezra 6:22. Turned the heart of the king of Assyria — I am of Calmet's mind, that king of Assyria is here put for king of Persia. Cyrus and his successors possessed all the rights and estates of the ancient kings of Assyria, and therefore the same monarch may be styled king of Assyria as well as king of Persia.
DARIUS had a very high character, as a wise, just, and merciful prince. To strengthen his title to the crown, he married two of the daughters of Cyrus, and, no doubt, to show his affection to this family, he the more cheerfully confirmed the edict which Cyrus had made in favour of the Jews.
