‏ Ezra 5:1-2

5:1 ^a Haggai first prophesied on August 29, 520 BC (Hag 1:1 ^b). Zechariah began prophesying about two months later (Zech 1:1 ^c). The books of Haggai and Zechariah record their messages (see also Ezra 6:14 ^d).
5:2 ^e The Jewish leaders had not led by faith (see Hag 1:1 ^f, 12 ^g). Now God’s Spirit stirred them up (Hag 1:14 ^h), and they obeyed by getting to work.

• Zerubbabel and Jeshua figure prominently in the books of Haggai and Zechariah.
