1
Then the prophets,
Haggai
the prophet,
and Zechariah
the son
of Iddo
, prophesied
unto
the Jews
that
were
in Judah
and Jerusalem
in the name
of the God
of Israel
,
even
unto
them.
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
helping
them.
3
At the same time
came
to them Tatnai, governor
on
this
side
the river
,
and Shetharboznai
,
and their companions
,
and said
thus
unto them,
Who
hath commanded
you to build
this
house
,
and to make up
this
wall
?
4
Then
said
we unto them after
this
manner
,
What
are
the names
of the men
that make
this
building
?
5
But the eye
of their God
was
upon
the elders
of the Jews
, that they could not cause them
to cease
,
till
the matter came
to Darius
:
and then
they returned answer
by letter
concerning this
matter
.
6
The copy
of the letter
that Tatnai, governor
on this side
the river
,
and Shetharboznai
,
and his companions
the Apharsachites
,
which
were
on this side
the river
,
sent
unto
Darius
the king
:
7
They sent
a letter
unto him, wherein
was written
thus
;
Unto Darius
the king
,
all
peace
.
8
Be it known
unto the king
,
that we went
into the province
of Judea
,
to the house
of the great
God
,
which
is builded
with great
stones
,
and timber
is laid
in the walls
,
and this
work
goeth
fast
on, and prospereth
in their hands
.
9
Then
asked
we those
elders
,
and
said
unto them thus
,
Who
commanded
you to build
this
house
,
and to make up
these
wall
s?
10
We asked
their names
also
,
to certify
thee, that we might write
the names
of the men
that
were
the chief
of them.
11
And thus
they returned
us answer,
saying
, We are
the servants
of the God
of heaven
and earth
,
and build
the house
that was
builded
these
many
years
ago
,
which a great
king
of Israel
builded
and set up
.
12
But
after
that our fathers
had provoked
the God
of heaven
unto wrath
,
he gave
them
into the hand
of Nebuchadnezzar
the king
of Babylon
, the Chaldean,
who destroyed
this
house
, and carried
the people
away
into Babylon
.
13
But
in the first
year
of
Cyrus
the king
of Babylon
the same
king
Cyrus
made
a decree
to build
this
house
of God
.
14
And the vessels
also
of
gold
and silver
of
the house
of
God
,
which Nebuchadnezzar
took
out
of
the temple
that
was
in Jerusalem
,
and brought
them into
the temple
of
Babylon
,
those
did Cyrus
the king
take
out
of
the temple
of
Babylon
,
and they were delivered
unto
one
, whose name
was
Sheshbazzar
,
whom
he had made
governor
;
15
And said
unto him, Take these
vessels
,
go
,
carry
them
into the temple
that
is
in Jerusalem
,
and let the house
of God
be builded
in
his place
.
16
Then
came
the same
Sheshbazzar
,
and
laid
the foundation
of the house
of God
which
is
in Jerusalem
: and since
that time
even until
now
hath it been in building
, and
yet
it is not
finished
.
17
Now
therefore, if
it seem
good
to
the king
,
let there be search
made in
the king
's
treasure
house
,
which
is
there
at Babylon
,
whether
it be
so
, that a decree
was made
of
Cyrus
the king
to
build
this
house
of God
at Jerusalem
,
and let
the king
send
his pleasure
to
us concerning
this
matter
.
