5 Then the heads of the families of Judah and Benjamin rose up. The priests and the Levites, and everyone whose spirit the Lord aroused, went up to build a house for the Lord in Jerusalem.
6 Their neighbors helped them with everything, with silver and gold, with horses and cattle, and with many other things pledged by those whose minds were inspired to do so.
7 King Cyrus also brought out the Lord’s holy equipment that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in his temple of idols.
8 When King Cyrus of the Persians brought these out, he handed them over to Mithridates, his own treasurer, and through him they were given over to Governor Sheshbazzar of Judea.
9 The number of these was one thousand gold cups, one thousand silver cups, twenty-nine silver censers,
10 thirty gold bowls, twenty-four hundred ten silver bowls, and one thousand other objects.
11 They handed over all five thousand four hundred sixty-nine gold and silver objects. So Sheshbazzar, with the help of war prisoners returning from Babylon, carried the equipment back to Jerusalem.
