Commentary on Ezra 6:10
The purpose for provision—'that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons'—reveals Darius's motivation. He sought divine blessing through support of proper worship. Whether this reflects genuine belief or pragmatic insurance, God uses it for His purposes. The text doesn't require pagan rulers' pure motives—God accomplishes His will even through mixed motivations and self-interest.
