SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:1
¶ Y profetizaron Hageo profeta, y Zacarías hijo de Iddo, profetas, a los judíos que estaban en Judá y en Jerusalén en el nombre del Dios de Israel a ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 5:1
Verse 1. Haggai-and Zechariah] These are the same whose writings we have among the twelve minor prophets. The son of Iddo] That is, the grandson of Iddo; for Zechariah was the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo. See his prophecy, Zechariah i. 1.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo , etc.] The grandson of Iddo; for he was the son of Berechiah, ( Zechariah 1:1), prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel ; this they both did in the second year of Darius; the one began in the sixth month, and the other in the eighth month of the year, ( Haggai 1:1 Zechariah 1:1), even “unto them”; or “against them”, as Deuteronomy Dieu; reproving them for their sloth and neglect of building the temple, when they were careful enough to raise up goodly houses for themselves to dwell in; and for being intimidated by the command of the king of Persia, which only forbid the building of the city, that is, the walls of it, but not the temple any more than their own houses; and besides, there was now a new king, from whom they had not so much to fear.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1, 2 - The building of the temple was stopped about fifteen years. Then the had two good ministers, who urged them to go on with the work. It is sign that God has mercy in store for a people, when he raises u prophets to be helpers in the way and work of God, as guides overseers, and rulers. In Haggai, we see what great things God does by his word, which he magnifies above all his name, and by his Spiri working with it.
