* Then Tattenai , governor of the region beyond the River , Shethar-Boznai , and their companions diligently did according to what King Darius had sent . * So the elders of the Jews built , and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo . And they built and finished it , according to the commandment of the God of Israel , and according to the command of Cyrus , Darius , and Artaxerxes king of Persia . * Now the temple was finished on the third day of the month of Adar , which was in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius . * Then the children of Israel , the priests and the Levites and the rest of the descendants of the captivity , celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy . * And they offered sacrifices at the dedication of this house of God , one hundred bulls , two hundred rams , four hundred lambs , and as a sin offering for all Israel twelve male goats , according to the number of the tribes of Israel . * They assigned the priests to their divisions and the Levites to their divisions , over the service of God in Jerusalem , as it is written in the Book of Moses .
