Daric       in the Revised Version of 1 Chr. 29:7; Ezra 2:69; 8:27; Neh.       7:70-72, where the Authorized Version has "dram." It is the       rendering of the Hebrew darkemon and the Greek dareikos. It was       a gold coin, bearing the figure of a Persian King with his crown       and armed with bow and arrow. It was current among the Jews       after their return from Babylon, i.e., while under the Persian       domination. It weighed about 128 grains troy, and was of the       value of about one guinea or rather more of our money. It is the       first coin mentioned in Scripture, and is the oldest that       history makes known to us.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Darius       the holder or supporter, the name of several Persian kings. (1.)       Darius the Mede (Dan. 11:1), "the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed       of the Medes" (9:1). On the death of Belshazzar the Chaldean he       "received the kingdom" of Babylon as viceroy from Cyrus. During       his brief reign (B.C. 538-536) Daniel was promoted to the       highest dignity (Dan. 6:1, 2); but on account of the malice of       his enemies he was cast into the den of lions. After his       miraculous escape, a decree was issued by Darius enjoining       "reverence for the God of Daniel" (6:26). This king was probably       the "Astyages" of the Greek historians. Nothing can, however, be       with certainty affirmed regarding him. Some are of opinion that       the name "Darius" is simply a name of office, equivalent to       "governor," and that the "Gobryas" of the inscriptions was the       person intended by the name.                (2.) Darius, king of Persia, was the son of Hystaspes, of the       royal family of the Achaemenidae. He did not immediately succeed       Cyrus on the throne. There were two intermediate kings, viz.,       Cambyses (the Ahasuerus of Ezra), the son of Cyrus, who reigned       from B.C. 529-522, and was succeeded by a usurper named Smerdis,       who occupied the throne only ten months, and was succeeded by       this Darius (B.C. 521-486). Smerdis was a Margian, and therefore       had no sympathy with Cyrus and Cambyses in the manner in which       they had treated the Jews. He issued a decree prohibiting the       restoration of the temple and of Jerusalem (Ezra 4:17-22). But       soon after his death and the accession of Darius, the Jews       resumed their work, thinking that the edict of Smerdis would be       now null and void, as Darius was in known harmony with the       religious policy of Cyrus. The enemies of the Jews lost no time       in bringing the matter under the notice of Darius, who caused       search to be made for the decree of Cyrus (q.v.). It was not       found at Babylon, but at Achmetha (Ezra 6:2); and Darius       forthwith issued a new decree, giving the Jews full liberty to       prosecute their work, at the same time requiring the Syrian       satrap and his subordinates to give them all needed help. It was       with the army of this king that the Greeks fought the famous       battle of Marathon (B.C. 490). During his reign the Jews enjoyed       much peace and prosperity. He was succeeded by Ahasuerus, known       to the Greeks as Xerxes, who reigned for twenty-one years.                (3.) Darius the Persian (Neh. 12:22) was probably the Darius       II. (Ochus or Nothus) of profane history, the son of Artaxerxes       Longimanus, who was the son and successor of Ahasuerus (Xerxes).       There are some, however, who think that the king here meant was       Darius III. (Codomannus), the antagonist of Alexander the Great       (B.C. 336-331).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Doors       moved on pivots of wood fastened in sockets above and below       (Prov. 26:14). They were fastened by a lock (Judg. 3:23, 25;       Cant. 5:5) or by a bar (Judg. 16:3; Job 38:10). In the interior       of Oriental houses, curtains were frequently used instead of       doors.                The entrances of the tabernacle had curtains (Ex. 26:31-33,       36). The "valley of Achor" is called a "door of hope," because       immediately after the execution of Achan the Lord said to       Joshua, "Fear not," and from that time Joshua went forward in a       career of uninterrupted conquest. Paul speaks of a "door opened"       for the spread of the gospel (1 Cor. 16:9; 2 Cor. 2:12; Col.       4:3). Our Lord says of himself, "I am the door" (John 10:9).       John (Rev. 4:1) speaks of a "door opened in heaven."

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dress       (1.) Materials used. The earliest and simplest an apron of       fig-leaves sewed together (Gen. 3:7); then skins of animals       (3:21). Elijah's dress was probably the skin of a sheep (2 Kings       1:8). The Hebrews were early acquainted with the art of weaving       hair into cloth (Ex. 26:7; 35:6), which formed the sackcloth of       mourners. This was the material of John the Baptist's robe       (Matt. 3:4). Wool was also woven into garments (Lev. 13:47;       Deut. 22:11; Ezek. 34:3; Job 31:20; Prov. 27:26). The Israelites       probably learned the art of weaving linen when they were in       Egypt (1 Chr. 4:21). Fine linen was used in the vestments of the       high priest (Ex. 28:5), as well as by the rich (Gen. 41:42;       Prov. 31:22; Luke 16:19). The use of mixed material, as wool and       flax, was forbidden (Lev. 19:19; Deut. 22:11).                (2.) Colour. The prevailing colour was the natural white of       the material used, which was sometimes rendered purer by the       fuller's art (Ps. 104:1, 2; Isa. 63:3; Mark 9:3). The Hebrews       were acquainted with the art of dyeing (Gen. 37:3, 23). Various       modes of ornamentation were adopted in the process of weaving       (Ex. 28:6; 26:1, 31; 35:25), and by needle-work (Judg. 5:30; Ps.       45:13). Dyed robes were imported from foreign countries,       particularly from Phoenicia (Zeph. 1:8). Purple and scarlet       robes were the marks of the wealthy (Luke 16:19; 2 Sam. 1:24).                (3.) Form. The robes of men and women were not very much       different in form from each other.                (a) The "coat" (kethoneth), of wool, cotton, or linen, was       worn by both sexes. It was a closely-fitting garment, resembling       in use and form our shirt (John 19:23). It was kept close to the       body by a girdle (John 21:7). A person wearing this "coat" alone       was described as naked (1 Sam. 19:24; Isa. 20:2; 2 Kings 6:30;       John 21:7); deprived of it he would be absolutely naked.                (b) A linen cloth or wrapper (sadin) of fine linen, used       somewhat as a night-shirt (Mark 14:51). It is mentioned in Judg.       14:12, 13, and rendered there "sheets."                (c) An upper tunic (meil), longer than the "coat" (1 Sam.       2:19; 24:4; 28:14). In 1 Sam. 28:14 it is the mantle in which       Samuel was enveloped; in 1 Sam. 24:4 it is the "robe" under       which Saul slept. The disciples were forbidden to wear two       "coats" (Matt. 10:10; Luke 9:3).                (d) The usual outer garment consisted of a piece of woollen       cloth like a Scotch plaid, either wrapped round the body or       thrown over the shoulders like a shawl, with the ends hanging       down in front, or it might be thrown over the head so as to       conceal the face (2 Sam. 15:30; Esther 6:12). It was confined to       the waist by a girdle, and the fold formed by the overlapping of       the robe served as a pocket (2 Kings 4:39; Ps. 79:12; Hag. 2:12;       Prov. 17:23; 21:14).                Female dress. The "coat" was common to both sexes (Cant. 5:3).       But peculiar to females were (1) the "veil" or "wimple," a kind       of shawl (Ruth 3:15; rendered "mantle," R.V., Isa. 3:22); (2)       the "mantle," also a species of shawl (Isa. 3:22); (3) a "veil,"       probably a light summer dress (Gen. 24:65); (4) a "stomacher," a       holiday dress (Isa. 3:24). The outer garment terminated in an       ample fringe or border, which concealed the feet (Isa. 47:2;       Jer. 13:22).                The dress of the Persians is described in Dan. 3:21.                The reference to the art of sewing are few, inasmuch as the       garments generally came forth from the loom ready for being       worn, and all that was required in the making of clothes       devolved on the women of a family (Prov. 31:22; Acts 9:39).                Extravagance in dress is referred to in Jer. 4:30; Ezek.       16:10; Zeph. 1:8 (R.V., "foreign apparel"); 1 Tim. 2:9; 1 Pet.       3:3. Rending the robes was expressive of grief (Gen. 37:29, 34),       fear (1 Kings 21:27), indignation (2 Kings 5:7), or despair       (Judg. 11:35; Esther 4:1).                Shaking the garments, or shaking the dust from off them, was a       sign of renunciation (Acts 18:6); wrapping them round the head,       of awe (1 Kings 19:13) or grief (2 Sam. 15:30; casting them off,       of excitement (Acts 22:23); laying hold of them, of supplication       (1 Sam. 15:27). In the case of travelling, the outer garments       were girded up (1 Kings 18:46). They were thrown aside also when       they would impede action (Mark 10:50; John 13:4; Acts 7:58).
