Cross-reference

Ezra 5:3 records Tattenai's initial challenge to the builders — here Darius commands him to stay away, directly answering that opposition.
Ezra 5:6 contains the letter Tattenai sent to Darius — this verse is Darius's reply, commanding them to keep away.
Ezra 4:9 lists the opponents who previously wrote to Artaxerxes; here Darius commands those same type of officials to stay away from the temple.
In Ezra 5:5, God’s eye on the elders prevented their work from being halted; now Darius’s decree formalizes that protection.
In Ezra 7:21, Artaxerxes similarly commands the treasurers beyond the River to support Ezra, echoing Darius’s instruction to leave the temple alone.
Proverbs 21:1 teaches the king's heart is in God's hand — Darius's decree demonstrates this truth.
Proverbs 21:30 says no counsel can succeed against the Lord — Tattenai's opposition fails, confirming this.
In Nehemiah 2:7, Nehemiah gets letters for the governors beyond the River, similar to Darius’s command here to the same regional officials.
