Ezra 4:21 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease Thus he suffered himself to be imposed upon by their fraud and falsehood, and took no care to examine the allegations of their petition concerning what the Jews were now doing; but took all they had asserted for matter of fact, and therefore was very ready to gratify them with an order of council to stay proceedings. Until another commandment shall be given So that, it appears, however, he kept his ears open to further information; which if he should receive, different from theirs, he might give other orders.
