"Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;" — Ezra 1:7 (ASV)

And Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord ,
&c.] Or ordered them to be brought forth:

which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem ;
out of the temple there, when he took it and burnt it:

and had put them in the house of his gods ;
in the temple of Belus at Babylon, see (2 Chronicles 36:7) (Daniel 1:2) (Daniel 5:2Daniel 5:3) , by which means they were providentially preserved.
