Verses 7:14–17 are one long sentence in Aramaic. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could break up that sentence into several parts. You could make 7:14 a sentence of its own, and you could divide this verse into two sentences, with the reason first and the result second. Alternate translation: “My counselors and I have freely given silver and gold for the God of Israel who lives in Jerusalem. So I am also sending you to deliver those gifts to his temple there.”

מַלְכָּ֣א וְיָעֲט֗וֹהִי
Oh/the=king and,counselors_of,his
As in 7:14, Artaxerxes speaks of himself here in the third person. Alternate translation: “I and my counselors”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
דִּ֥י בִֽירוּשְׁלֶ֖ם מִשְׁכְּנֵֽהּ
that/who in/on/at/with,Jerusalem dwelling_of,him
Artaxerxes speaks of the God of Israel as if he actually lived in Jerusalem. Like Darius in 6:12, he seems to be echoing Jewish usage, likely to show his respect for the God of Israel. The phrase indicates that Jerusalem is the place from which God chose to start making himself known throughout the world. In this context it seems to refer specifically to the temple since, in the next verse, Artaxerxes associates the silver and gold that he and his counselors have given with further gifts that others may give for the house of God that is in Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “whose temple is in Jerusalem”
7:15 who lives in Jerusalem: God’s Temple was located there. Artaxerxes probably thought that he was helping rebuild the house of Jerusalem’s local deity (cp. 1 Kgs 8:27; Ps 24:1).
