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.

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.

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

Then
said
we unto them after this manner,
What
are
the names
of the men
that make
this
building?
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.

which were on this side

They sent
a letter
unto
him, wherein
was written
thus;
Unto Darius
the king,
all
peace.
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

Then

We asked
their names
also,
to certify
thee, that we might write
the names
of the men
that were the chief
of them.
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.
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.

But
in the first
year
of Cyrus
the king
of Babylon
the same king
Cyrus
made
a decree
to build
this
house
of God.
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;

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.
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.

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.
