       Xerxes, after his return from his unsuccessful expedition into
       Greece, partly out of religious zeal, being a professed enemy
       to image worship, and partly to reimburse himself after his
       immense expenses, seized the sacred treasures, and plundered
       or destroyed the temples and idols of Babylon, thereby
       accomplishing the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah.  (Isa
       21:9; 46:1.  Jer 50:2; 51:44, 47, 52.)  What God declares, "I
       will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth that which
       he has swallowed," was also literally fulfilled, when the
       vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought
       from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of Bel, Da 1:2, were
       restored by order of Cyrus, Ezr 1:7, and again carried to
       Jerusalem.  Bp. Newton, Dis. X.
