Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezra 5:2

_ _ Then rose up Zerubbabel ... and Jeshua ... began to build the house of God — The strong appeals and animating exhortations of these prophets gave a new impulse to the building of the temple. It was in the second year of the reign of Darius Hystaspes that the work, after a long interruption, was resumed.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezra 5:1-2.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezra 5:2

Helping — Encouraging the people to work by their presence, and assurance of success. It is supposed, the work had stopt about fifteen years. The first chapter of Haggai is the best comment on these two verses.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezra 5:2

Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which [is] at Jerusalem: and with them [were] the prophets of God (a) helping them.

(a) Who encouraged them to go forward, and cursed them because they were more careful to build their own houses, than zealous to build the temple of God.
