Hag 1:1:
1 In Dareyavesh’s (Darius’) second year as king of Paras (Persia), on the 1st of the sixth month, the prophet Hagay brought Yahweh’s message to the governor of Yehudah (Judah), Zerubavel (Shealtiyel’s son), and to the high priest, Yehoshua (Joshua) (Yehotsadak’s son),[ref] telling them that
Zech 1:1:

Hag 1:12:
12 Then Shealtiyel’s son Zerubavel and Yehotsadak’s son Yehoshua (Joshua), the high priest, and all the rest of the people listened to the voice of their god Yahweh via the words of the prophet Hagay, because Yahweh their god had sent him, and the people respected Yahweh.
Zech 4:6-9:
6 So he told me, “This is Yahweh’s message to Zerubavel:[ref] Commander-in-chief Yahweh says it won’t be my strength or my power, but with my spirit. 7 What are you, big mountain? Before Zerubavel you will become a plain. Then he will bring out the top stone to shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it.’ ”
8 Then Yahweh’s message came to me, saying, 9 “Zerubavel’s hands have laid the foundation of this temple and his hands will bring it to completion.” Then you will have confirmation that Commander-in-chief Yahweh has sent me to you.
2Ki 25:8-12:
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month of Babylonian King Nevukadnetsar’s (Nebuchadnezzar’s) nineteenth year as king, his servant Nevuzar-Adan, who was his chief bodyguard, went to Yerushalem (Jerusalem). 9 He set fire to Yahweh’s temple and the palace, and all of Yerushalem’s houses, so no important building remained. 10 Then the army under the command of Nevuzar-Adan tore down the walls surrounding Yerushalem. 11 He exiled all the rest of the people from the city, all the surrendered soldiers, and the rest of the population, 12 but he let some of the poorest people remain on the land to look after the vineyards and as farmers.
2Ch 36:17-20:
17 So Yahweh sent the Chaldean king against them, and the Kasdim (Chaldeans) ran Yehudah’s young men through with the sword, even in the temple, and they didn’t spare any of the young men or women, or even those who were older or elderly—God allowed Nevukadnetsar to thoroughly defeat them.[ref] 18 Then he took everything valuable, big or small, from God’s temple, as well as from the king and his officials. 19 They set God’s temple on fire,[ref] and tore down some of the wall surrounding Yerushalem, burnt all its palaces, and destroyed everything valuable. 20 Anyone else who was still alive was taken to Bavel (Babylon), where they became servants to the king and his children until the time when the Persians came to power.
Jer 52:12-15:
12 Then on the 10th of the fifth month in the nineteenth year of the Babylonian King Nevukadnetsar’s (Nebuchadnezzar’s) reign, Nevuzar-Adan came to Yerushalem (Jerusalem). He was the commander of the king’s bodyguards and a servant of the Babylonian king. 13 He burnt down Yahweh’s house,[ref] the king’s palace, and all the homes in Yerushalem, as well as every important building in the city. 14 As for the walls all around Yerushalem, they were pulled down by the Babylonian army who were with the commander of the bodyguards. 15 Some of the poorer people and the rest of the people who remained in the city, as well as those who’d defected to the Babylonian king, and the rest of the craftsmen were taken into exile by Nevuzar-Adan,
Ezr 1:2-11:
2 “Koresh, king of Paras, declares this: Yahweh, the god of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms in the world, and he’s appointed me to build a residence for him in Yerushalem (Jerusalem) in Yehudah (Judah).[ref] 3 Anyone among you who’s one of his followers is free to go to Yerushalem (in Yehudah) to help build a temple there for Yisrael’s (Israel’s) god Yahweh—the god of Yerushalem. May God go with you. 4 Those who live near these people but who are not going themselves, should donate gold and silver, and goods and livestock, plus cash as a voluntary offering for God’s temple in Yerushalem.
5 Then some of the leaders of Benyamin and Yehudah, and some priests and Levites—all of whom had had their spirits stirred up by God—left to go and build Yahweh’s residence in Yerushalem. 6 Their neighbours had helped them by donating gold and silver utensils, goods and livestock, and expensive gifts, as well as the voluntary offerings of cash.
7 Then King Koresh brought out the equipment from Yahweh’s temple that Nevukadnetsar (Nebuchadnezzar) had brought all the way from Yerushalem and had put in the house of his gods. 8 He put the treasurer Mitredat in charge of bringing them out and Sheshebatsar, the ruler of Yehudah, in charge of accepting them and listing them. 9 There were: thirty gold basins, one thousand silver basins, twenty-nine knives, 10 thirty gold bowls, 410 silver bowls, and a thousand other utensils, 11 coming to a total of 5,400 gold and silver utensils. Sheshebatsar took all of that with the group of exiles going from Bavel (Babylon) to Yerushalem.
