²⁴Thus the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased, and it was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

Restoration of the Temple Resumed

5Then the prophet ^aHaggai and ^bZechariah the son of Iddo, prophets, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them. ²So ^cZerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of ¹Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and ^dthe prophets of God were with them, helping them.
