Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Then rose up Zerubbabel... and Jeshua. Haggai's preaching was especially addressed to these two leaders (Haggai 1:1), and their spirit was especially "stirred up" (ibid. ver. 14) by his preaching. The prophets of God - Haggai and Zechariah - were with them, throughout their work, helping them; and that in various ways. 1. By direct command to the people - "Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house" (Haggai 1:8); 2. By warnings - "Because of mine house that is waste... therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit" (ibid. vers. 9, 10); 3. By exhortations - "Be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be ye strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and work" (Haggai 2:4); and . . .

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Then rose up.--This does not intimate that they had become indifferent. But the voice of prophecy inspirited them to go on without formal permission of Darius, who was known secretly to favour them already.The prophets of God helping them.--In these two prophets we can read the invigorating sayings that encouraged the people almost from day to day and from stage to stage of their work.
