Creation year 3458 · overlaps Nisan years 1011–1012 · Historical date 465 BC · Artaxerxes I
Persian chronology places Artaxerxes I’s accession in 465 BC, or Creation year 3458. Identifying the Artaxerxes of Ezra 7 and Nehemiah with Artaxerxes I is the working view; alternative identifications remain noted for review.
King James Version
“Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.”
