“In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:13 In the Lord's message - ln the words of his master. The people - The whole assembly.
1:14 The Lord of hosts - By which name he delights to be known among the returned captives; and it was a name best suited to their present state, compassed on all hands with enemies.
