Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Shushan the palace — The ancient city of Susa, now called [Persian] Shuster by the Persians. This, with Ecbatana and Babylon, was a residence of the Persian kings. The word הבירה habbirah, which we render the palace, should be rendered the city, ενσουσοιςτηπολει, as in the Septuagint.
