Then the prophetsH5029, HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5029, and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1247 of IddoH5714, prophesiedH5013 untoH5922 the JewsH3062 that were in JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390 in the nameH8036 of the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, even untoH5922 them.
ThenH116 rose upH6966 ZerubbabelH2217 the sonH1247 of ShealtielH7598, and JeshuaH3443 the sonH1247 of JozadakH3136, and beganH8271 to buildH1124 the houseH1005 of GodH426 which is at JerusalemH3390: and with themH5974 were the prophetsH5029 of GodH426 helpingH5583 them.
At the same timeH2166 cameH858 to them TatnaiH8674, governorH6347 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, and ShetharboznaiH8370, and their companionsH3675, and saidH560 thusH3652 unto themH5922, WhoH4479 hath commandedH7761+H2942 you to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005, and to make upH3635 thisH1836 wallH846?
ThenH116 saidH560 we unto them after this mannerH3660, WhatH4479 areH581 the namesH8036 of the menH1400 that makeH1124 thisH1836 buildingH1147? {make: Chaldee, build}
But the eyeH5870 of their GodH426 wasH1934 uponH5922 the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062, that they could notH3809 causeH989 themH1994 to ceaseH989, tillH5705 the matterH2941 cameH1946 to DariusH1868: and thenH116 they returned answerH8421 by letterH5407 concerningH5922 thisH1836 matter.
The copyH6573 of the letterH104 that TatnaiH8674, governorH6347 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, and ShetharboznaiH8370, and his companionsH3675 the ApharsachitesH671, which were on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, sentH7972 untoH5922 DariusH1868 the kingH4430:
They sentH7972 a letterH6600 untoH5922 him, whereinH1459 was writtenH3790 thusH1836; Unto DariusH1868 the kingH4430, allH3606 peaceH8001. {wherein: Chaldee, in the midst whereof}
Be it knownH1934+H3046 unto the kingH4430, that we wentH236 into the provinceH4083 of JudeaH3061, to the houseH1005 of the greatH7229 GodH426, which is buildedH1124 with greatH1560 stonesH69, and timberH636 is laidH7761 in the wallsH3797, and thisH1791 workH5673 goethH5648 fastH629 on, and prosperethH6744 in their handsH3028. {great…: Chaldee, stones of rolling}
ThenH116 askedH7593 we thoseH479 eldersH7868, and saidH560 unto them thusH3660, WhoH4479 commandedH7761+H2942 you to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005, and to make upH3635 theseH1836 wallsH846?
We askedH7593 their namesH8036 alsoH638, to certifyH3046 thee, that we might writeH3790 the namesH8036 of the menH1400 that were the chiefH7217 of them.
And thusH3660 they returnedH8421 us answerH6600, sayingH560, WeH586 areH1994 the servantsH5649 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065 and earthH772, and buildH1124 the houseH1005 that wasH1934 buildedH1124 theseH1836 manyH7690 yearsH8140 agoH6928, which a greatH7229 kingH4430 of IsraelH3479 buildedH1124 and set upH3635.
ButH3861 afterH4481 that our fathersH2 had provokedH7265 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 unto wrathH7265, he gaveH3052 themH1994 into the handH3028 of NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 of BabylonH895, the ChaldeanH3679, who destroyedH5642 thisH1836 houseH1005, and carriedH1541 the peopleH5972 awayH1541 into BabylonH895.
ButH1297 in the firstH2298 yearH8140 of CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 of BabylonH895 the same kingH4430 CyrusH3567 madeH7761 a decreeH2942 to buildH1124 thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426.
And the vesselsH3984 alsoH638 ofH1768 goldH1722 and silverH3702 of the houseH1005 of GodH426, which NebuchadnezzarH5020 tookH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 that was in JerusalemH3390, and broughtH2987 them into the templeH1965 of BabylonH895, thoseH1994 did CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 takeH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 of BabylonH895, and they were deliveredH3052 unto one, whose nameH8036 was SheshbazzarH8340, whom he had madeH7761 governorH6347; {governor: or, deputy}
And saidH560 unto him, TakeH5376 theseH412 vesselsH3984, goH236, carryH5182 themH1994 into the templeH1965 that is in JerusalemH3390, and let the houseH1005 of GodH426 be buildedH1124 inH5922 his placeH870.
ThenH116 cameH858 the sameH1791 SheshbazzarH8340, and laidH3052 the foundationH787 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390: and sinceH4481 that timeH116 even untilH5705 nowH3705 hath it been in buildingH1124, and yet it is notH3809 finishedH8000.
NowH3705 therefore, ifH2006 it seem goodH2869 toH5922 the kingH4430, let there be searchH1240 made in the king'sH4430 treasureH1596 houseH1005, which is thereH8536 at BabylonH895, whetherH2006 it beH383 so, that a decreeH2942 was madeH7761 ofH4481 CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 to buildH1124 thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426 at JerusalemH3390, and let the kingH4430 sendH7972 his pleasureH7470 to us concerningH5922 this matterH1836.

And if it seem evilH7489 unto youH4310 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068, chooseH977 you this dayH3117 whomH5869 ye will serveH5647; whether the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 that were on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, or the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427: but as for me and my houseH1004, we will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass in the fourH702 hundredH3967+H8141 and eightiethH8084 yearH8141 after the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were come outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of Solomon'sH8010 reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, in the monthH2320 ZifH2099, which is the secondH8145 monthH2320, that he began to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {began…: Heb. built}
And the houseH1004 which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 for the LORDH3068, the lengthH753 thereof was threescoreH8346 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof twentyH6242 cubits, and the heightH6967 thereof thirtyH7970 cubitsH520.
And the porchH197 beforeH6440 the templeH1964 of the houseH1004, twentyH6242 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 thereof, according to the breadthH7341 of the houseH1004; and tenH6235 cubitsH520 was the breadthH7341 thereof before the houseH1004.
And for the houseH1004 he madeH6213 windowsH2474 of narrowH331 lightsH8261. {of…: or, broad within, and narrow without: or, skewed and closed}
And against the wallH7023 of the houseH1004 he builtH1129 chambersH3326+H3326 round aboutH5439, against the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 round aboutH5439, both of the templeH1964 and of the oracleH1687: and he madeH6213 chambersH6763 round aboutH5439: {against the wall: or, upon, or, joining to the wall} {built chambers: Heb. built floors} {made chambers: Heb. made ribs}
The nethermostH8481 chamberH3326+H3326 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broadH7341, and the middleH8484 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 broadH7341, and the thirdH7992 was sevenH7651 cubitsH520 broadH7341: for without in the wall ofH2351 the houseH1004 he madeH5414 narrowed restsH4052 round aboutH5439, that the beams should not be fastenedH270 in the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004. {narrowed…: Heb. narrowings, or, rebatements}
And the houseH1004, when it was in buildingH1129, was builtH1129 of stoneH68 made readyH8003 before it was broughtH4551 thither: so that there was neither hammerH4717 nor axeH1631 nor any toolH3627 of ironH1270 heardH8085 in the houseH1004, while it was in buildingH1129.
Then SolomonH8010 beganH2490 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389 in mountH2022 MoriahH4179, where the LORD appearedH7200 unto DavidH1732 his fatherH1, in the placeH4725 that DavidH1732 had preparedH3559 in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. {where…: or, which was seen of David his father}
And he beganH2490 to buildH1129 in the secondH8145 day of the secondH8145 monthH2320, in the fourthH702 yearH8141 of his reignH4438.
Now these are the things wherein SolomonH8010 was instructedH3245 for the buildingH1129 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. The lengthH753 by cubitsH520 after the firstH7223 measureH4060 was threescoreH8346 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 twentyH6242 cubitsH520. {instructed: Heb. founded}
And the porchH197 that was in the frontH6440 of the house, the lengthH753 of it was according to the breadthH7341 of the houseH1004, twentyH6242 cubitsH520, and the heightH1363 was an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242: and he overlaidH6823 it withinH6441 with pureH2889 goldH2091.
And the greaterH1419 houseH1004 he cieledH2645 with firH1265 treeH6086, which he overlaidH2645 with fineH2896 goldH2091, and setH5927 thereon palm treesH8561 and chainsH8333.
ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 came nearH7127 to the mouthH8651 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861, and spakeH6032, and saidH560, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, ye servantsH5649 of the most highH5943 GodH426, come forthH5312, and comeH858 hither. ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, came forthH5312 ofH4481 the midstH1459 of the fireH5135. {mouth: Cald. door}
And he saidH559 unto them, I am an HebrewH5680; and I fearH3373 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, which hath madeH6213 the seaH3220 and the dryH3004 land. {the LORD: or, JEHOVAH}
WhosoeverG3956+G3748 thereforeG3767 shall confessG3670+G1722 meG1698 beforeG1715 menG444+G1722, himG846 will I confessG3670 alsoG2504 beforeG1715 myG3450 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772.
AlsoG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, WhosoeverG3956+G3739+G302 shall confessG3670+G1722 meG1698 beforeG1715 menG444+G1722, himG846 shallG3670 the SonG5207 of manG444 alsoG2532 confessG3670 beforeG1715 the angelsG32 of GodG2316:
ForG1063 there stood byG3936 meG3427 thisG5026 nightG3571 the angelG32 of GodG2316, whoseG3739 I amG1510, andG2532 whomG3739 I serveG3000,
ForG1063 I amG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 of the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547: forG1063 it isG2076 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 untoG1519 salvationG4991 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100; to the JewG2453 firstG4412, andG5037 alsoG2532 to the GreekG1672.
