From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The kings commissions -i. e., the orders issued to all governors of provinces near Judaea by Artaxerxes, given inEzra 7:21-24. The kings lieutenants -literally, “the king’s satraps.” The word is used in its strict sense, referring to the chief rulers of Persian provinces, from which the “governors” or rulers of smaller districts are distinguished.
