1 Then Sisinnes the governor of Coelesyria and Phoenicia, and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions, following the commandments of king Darius,
2 did very carefully oversee the holy works, assisting the elders of the Jews and rulers of the temple.
3 And so the holy works prospered, while Aggaeus and Zacharias the prophets prophesied.
4 And they finished these things by the commandment of the Lord, the God of Israel, and with the consent of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of the Persians.
5 And thus was the house finished by the three and twentieth day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of king Darius.
