1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word
 of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the
 LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he
 made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it]
 also in writing, saying,
1:2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath
 given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me
 to build him an house at Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah.
1:3 Who [is there] among you of all his people? his God be with
 him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah, and
 build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he [is] the God,)
 which [is] in Jerusalem.
1:4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth,
 let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold,
 and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering
 for the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem.
1:5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin,
 and the priests, and the Levites, with all [them] whose spirit
 God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which
 [is] in Jerusalem.
1:6 And all they that [were] about them strengthened their hands
 with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts,
 and with precious things, beside all [that] was willingly
 offered.
1:7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house
 of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of
 Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;

 of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto
 Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
1:9 And this [is] the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a
 thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
1:10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second [sort]
 four hundred and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.

 and four hundred. All [these] did Sheshbazzar bring up with
 [them of] the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto
 Jerusalem.
2:1 Now these [are] the children of the province that went up
 out of the captivity, of those which had been carried away,
 whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto
 Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one
