Zerubbabel and Jeshua, incited by Haggai and Zechariah, set forward the building of the Temple.1 ¶ Then the prophets,º Haggaiº the prophet,º and Zechariahº the sonº of Iddo,º prophesiedºª untoº the Jewsº that² [were] in Judahº and Jerusalemº in the nameº of the Godº of Israel,º [even] untoº them. 2 Thenº rose upºª Zerubbabelº the sonº of Shealtiel,º and Jeshuaº the sonº of Jozadak,º and beganºª to buildºª the houseº of Godº which² [is] at Jerusalem:º and with² them¹ [were] the prophetsº of² Godº helpingºª them. Tatnai and Shethar-boznai could not hinder the Jews.3 ¶ At the same timeº cameºª to² them Tatnai,º governorº on this sideº the river,º and Shetharboznai,º and their companions,º and saidºª thusº unto them,¹ Whoº hath commandedººª you to buildºª thisº house,º and to make upºª thisº wall?º 4 Thenº saidºª we unto them after this manner,º Whatº are¹ the namesº of the menº that² makeºª thisº building?º 5 But the eyeº of their Godº wasºª uponº the eldersºª of the Jews,º that they could notº cause¹ª themº to cease,ºª tillº the matterº cameºª to Darius:º and thenº they returned answerºª by letterº concerningº thisº [matter].

Their letter to Darius against the Jews.6 ¶ The copyº of the letterº that² Tatnai,º governorº on this sideº the river,º and Shetharboznai,º and his companionsº the Apharsachites,º which² [were] on this sideº the river,º sentºª untoº Dariusº the king:º 7 They sentºª a letterº untoº him, whereinº was writtenºª thus;º Unto Dariusº the king,º allº peace.º 8 Be² it knownº¹ªª unto the king,º that² we wentºª into the provinceº of Judea,º to the houseº of the greatº God,º which² is buildedºª with greatº stones,º and timberº is laidºª in the walls,º and thisº workº goethºª fast¹ on,² and prosperethºª in their hands.º 9 Thenº askedºª we thoseº elders,ºª [and] saidºª unto them thus,º Whoº commandedººª you to buildºª thisº house,º and to make upºª theseº walls?º 10 We askedºª their namesº also,º to certifyºª thee, that² we might writeºª the namesº of the menº that² [were] the chiefº of them. 11 And thusº they returnedºª us answer,º saying,ºª Weº are¹ the servantsº of² the Godº of heavenº and earth,º and buildºª the houseº that² wasºª buildedºª theseº manyº yearsº ago,º² which a greatº kingº of Israelº buildedºª and set up.ºª 12 Butº afterº that² our fathersº had provoked¹ª the God¹ of heaven¹ unto wrath,ºª²² he gaveºª themº into the handº of Nebuchadnezzarº the kingº of Babylon,º the Chaldean,º who destroyedºª thisº house,º and carried¹ª the people¹ awayºª² into Babylon.º 13 Butº in the firstº yearº of Cyrusº the kingº of² Babylonº [the same] kingº Cyrusº madeºª a decreeº to buildºª thisº houseº of God.º 14 And the vesselsº alsoº ofº goldº and silverº of² the houseº of God,º which² Nebuchadnezzarº tookºª out ofº the templeº that² [was] in Jerusalem,º and broughtºª them² into the templeº of² Babylon,º thoseº did Cyrusº the kingº takeºª out ofº the templeº of² Babylon,º and they were deliveredºª unto [one], whose nameº [was] Sheshbazzar,º whom² he had madeºª governor;º 15 And saidºª unto him, Takeºª these¹² vessels,º go,ºª carryºª themº into the templeº that² [is] in Jerusalem,º and let the houseº of Godº be buildedºª inº his place.º 16 Thenº cameºª the sameº Sheshbazzar,º [and] laidºª the foundationº of² the houseº of Godº which² [is] in Jerusalem:º and sinceº that timeº even untilº nowº hath it been in building,ºª and [yet] it is notº finished.ºª 17 Nowº therefore, ifº [it seem] goodº toº the king,º let there be search¹ª made² in the king'sº treasureº house,º which² [is] thereº at Babylon,º whetherº it beº [so], that² a decreeº was madeºª ofº Cyrusº the kingº to buildºª thisº houseº of Godº at Jerusalem,º and let the kingº sendºª his pleasureº to² us concerningº this matter.º [6] Ezr 4:9, 11, 23; 6:6.
