When Zorobabel and the high priest had made this answer, Sisinnes,
and those that were with him, did not resolve to hinder the building, until
they had informed king Darius of all this. So they immediately wrote to
him about these affairs; but as the Jews were now under terror, and afraid
lest the king should change his resolutions as to the building of Jerusalem
and of the temple, there were two prophets at that time among them, Haggai
and Zechariah, who encouraged them, and bid them be of good cheer, and
to suspect no discouragement from the Persians, for that God foretold this
to them. So, in dependence on those prophets, they applied themselves earnestly
to building, and did not intermit one day.
