2 Chronicles 36:20
Douay-Rheims
Whosoever escaped the sword, was led into Babylon, and there served the king and his sons till the reign of the king of Persia.
Rashi
and they became vassals to him and to his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia And why until the kingdom of Persia? Because until that time, the land was not appeased for its Sabbaths, as it is written (Lev. 26:35): “As long as it is desolate, it will rest.”
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
