14. Formal Translation The elders of Judah continued building and prospered through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo; they then brought the work to completion by the command of God {Elah, Sovereign Overseer} of Israel and by the decrees of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of Persia. |
14. Dynamic Translation The Jewish leaders kept building and succeeded because of the messages from Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo; they completed the work at the command of God {Elah, Faithful Guide} of Israel and under the authority of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, the Persian kings. |
