Commentary

2 notes on this verse
And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shall have occasion to bestow,.... For the beautifying and ornamenting the temple, Ezr 7:27, bestow it out of the king's treasure house; where the money collected by tribute, tax, and custom, was deposited; his exchequer, as it may be called, see Ezr 6:8.

This site's exposition

The vessels also that

on Ezra 7:19-20

The vessels given for the temple's service are to be delivered before the God of Jerusalem, sacred articles handled with the same care as the money. Whatever more the house of God should need beyond the collected gift, Ezra may draw directly from the king's treasure house, an open-ended provision Henry reads as considerate, since Ezra could not yet know what he would find wanting on arrival. A heathen empire funds the temple's ongoing needs on credit before Ezra has filed a single request of his own.
