and his priestly colleagues
and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his colleagues
started to build

the law of Moses the man of God.
Haggai 1:12-14
The Response of the People
1:12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, along with the whole remnant of the people, obeyed the Lord their God. They responded favorably to the message of the prophet Haggai, who spoke just as the Lord their God had instructed him, and the people began to respect the Lord.
1:13 Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, spoke the Lord’s word to the people: “I am with you!” says the Lord.
1:14 So the Lord energized and encouraged Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, and the whole remnant of the people. They came and worked on the temple of their God, the Lord who rules over all.
Haggai 2:2
2:2 “Ask the following questions to
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak,
and the remnant of the people:
Haggai 2:4
2:4 Even so, take heart, Zerubbabel,’ says the
Lord. ‘Take heart, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and
all you citizens of the land,’
says the
Lord, ‘and begin to work. For I am with you,’ says the
Lord who rules over all.
Zechariah 4:6-9
4:6 Therefore he told me, “These signify the word of the
Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by strength and not by power, but by my Spirit,’
says the
Lord who rules over all.”
Oracle of Response
4:7 “What are you, you great mountain? Because of Zerubbabel you will become a level plain! And he will bring forth the temple capstone with shoutings of ‘Grace! Grace!’ because of this.”
4:8 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me as follows:
4:9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundations of this temple, and his hands will complete it.” Then you will know that the Lord who rules over all has sent me to you.
