Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto the work,.... Of building the city and the temple, and for that service, Ezr 2:68 , the Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand drachms of gold; each of which was one pound sterling, and so amounted to so many pounds: of these "dracmons", or
"darics", a Persian coin, mention is made in Ezr 2:69 , they were golden staters, or shekels and had their name as is said, not from Darius, the father of Xerxes, though it is certain, from Herodotus (d), that he coined golden money; but from some other king of the same name, more ancient (e), which must be Darius the Mede; and if they are the same with the Adarcon in Ezr 8:27 as they seem to be, then those in Ch1 29:7 were pieces of money not so called in the times of David, but of Ezra, the writer of that book: whether this Tirshatha was Zerubbabel, or Nehemiah, is not easy to say, since this donation is not the same with that in Ezra, not made at the same time nor are the gifts the same, nor the persons that gave them. Zerubbabel was Tirshatha when the Jews came out of Babylon, and Nehemiah now: fifty basins; which were vessels, in the which the blood of the sacrifices was received and out of which it was sprinkled: five hundred and thirty priests' garments; which were laid up in the wardrobe, and used on occasion.
