14 And (A)the elders of the Jews [a]were successful in building through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And [b]they finished building following the command of the God of Israel and the decree (B)of Cyrus, (C)Darius, and (D)Artaxerxes king of Persia. 15 Now this [c]temple was completed [d]on the third day of the (E)month Adar; it was the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.

16 And the sons of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the [e]exiles, (F)celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy.
