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.
5:4 b
Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that
make this building?
(
b) That is, the enemies asked this, as in (
Ezra
5:10).
5:5 But the
c
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].
(
c) His favour and the spirit of strength.
5:11
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
d great king of Israel builded
and set up.
(
d) That is, Solomon.
5:13 But in the
e
first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon [the same] king Cyrus made a decree to
build this house of God.

e) Read (
Ezra
1:1,2).
5:14 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]
f Sheshbazzar, whom he had
made governor;
(
f) Read (
Ezra
1:8).
5:17
Now therefore, if [it seem] good to the king, let there be search made in the
king's
g 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.
(
g) Meaning in the library or places where lay
