5:1 And
prophesied
have
the
prophets,
(Haggai
the
prophet,
and
Zechariah
son
of
Iddo)
unto
the
Jews
who
[are]
in
Judah
and
in
Jerusalem,
in
the
name
of
the
God
of
Israel--unto
them.
5:2 Then
have
Zerubbabel
son
of
Shealtiel,
and
Jeshua
son
of
Jozadak,
risen,
and
begun
to
build
the
house
of
God,
that
[is]
in
Jerusalem,
and
with
them
are
the
prophets
of
God
supporting
them.
5:3 At
that
time
come
to
them
hath
Tatnai,
governor
beyond
the
river,
and
Shethar-Boznai,
and
their
companions,
and
thus
they
are
saying
to
them,
`Who
hath
made
for
you
a
decree
this
house
to
build,
and
this
wall
to
finish'
5:4 Then
thus
we
have
said
to
them,
`What
[are]
the
names
of
the
men
who
are
building
this
building'
5:5 And
the
eye
of
their
God
hath
been
upon
the
elders
of
the
Jews,
and
they
have
not
caused
them
to
cease
till
the
matter
goeth
to
Darius,
and
then
they
send
back
a
letter
concerning
this
thing.
5:6 The
copy
of
a
letter
that
Tatnai,
governor
beyond
the
river,
hath
sent,
and
Shethar-Boznai
and
his
companions,
the
Apharsachites
who
[are]
beyond
the
river,
unto
Darius
the
king.
5:7 A
letter
they
have
sent
unto
him,
and
thus
is
it
written
in
it:
5:8 `To
Darius
the
king,
all
peace!
be
it
known
to
the
king
that
we
have
gone
to
the
province
of
Judah,
to
the
great
house
of
God,
and
it
is
built
[with]
rolled
stones,
and
wood
is
placed
in
the
walls,
and
this
work
is
done
speedily,
and
prospering
in
their
hand.
5:9 Then
we
have
asked
of
these
elders,
thus
we
have
said
to
them,
Who
hath
made
for
you
a
decree
this
house
to
build,
and
this
wall
to
finish
5:10 And
also
their
names
we
have
asked
of
them,
to
let
thee
know,
that
we
might
write
the
names
of
the
men
who
[are]
at
their
head.
5:11 `And
thus
they
have
returned
us
word,
saying,
We
[are]
servants
of
the
God
of
heaven
and
earth,
and
are
building
the
house
that
was
built
many
years
before
this,
that
a
great
king
of
Israel
built
and
finished:
5:12 but
after
that
our
fathers
made
the
God
of
heaven
angry,
he
gave
them
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
the
Chaldean,
and
this
house
he
destroyed,
and
the
people
he
removed
to
Babylon;
5:13 but
in
the
first
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Babylon,
Cyrus
the
king
made
a
decree
to
build
this
house
of
God,
5:14 and
also,
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
God,
of
gold
and
silver,
that
Nebuchadnezzar
had
taken
forth
out
of
the
temple
that
[is]
in
Jerusalem,
and
brought
them
to
the
temple
of
Babylon,
them
hath
Cyrus
the
king
brought
forth
out
of
the
temple
of
Babylon,
and
they
have
been
given
to
[one]
,
Sheshbazzar
[is]
his
name,
whom
he
made
governor,
5:15 and
said
to
him,
These
vessels
lift
up,
go,
put
them
down
in
the
temple
that
[is]
in
Jerusalem,
and
the
house
of
God
is
builded
on
its
place.
5:16 Then
hath
this
Sheshbazzar
come--he
hath
laid
the
foundations
of
the
house
of
God
that
[is]
in
Jerusalem,
and
from
thence
even
till
now
it
hath
been
building,
and
is
not
finished.
5:17 `And
now,
if
to
the
king
it
be
good,
let
search
be
made
in
the
treasure-house
of
the
king,
that
[is]
there
in
Babylon,
whether
it
be
that
of
Cyrus
the
king
there
was
made
a
decree
to
build
this
house
of
God
in
Jerusalem,
and
the
will
of
the
king
concerning
this
thing
he
doth
send
unto
us.'
