Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 45:3

_ _ treasures of darkness — that is, hidden in subterranean places; a common Oriental practice. Sorcerers pretended to be able to show where such treasures were to be found; in opposition to their pretensions, God says, He will really give hidden treasures to Cyrus (Jeremiah 50:37; Jeremiah 51:13). Pliny (Natural History, 33:3) says that Cyrus obtained from the conquest of Asia thirty-four thousand pounds weight of gold, besides golden vases, and five hundred thousand talents of silver, and the goblet of Semiramis, weighing fifteen talents.

_ _ that thou mayest know — namely, not merely that He was “the God of Israel,” but that He was Jehovah, the true God. Ezra 1:1, Ezra 1:2 shows that the correspondence of the event with the prediction had the desired effect on Cyrus.

_ _ which call ... thy name — so long before designate thee by name (Isaiah 43:1).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 45:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 45:3

The treasures — Such as have been long kept in dark and secret places.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 45:3

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest (e) know that I, the LORD, who call [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of Israel.

(e) Not that Cyrus knew God to worship him correctly, but he had a certain particular knowledge as profane men may have of his power, and so was compelled to deliver God's people.
