Commentary on Haggai 1:14

Theological / Devotional

Governor of Judah. See on v. 1.

Remnant. See on v. 12.

Did work. Literally, “worked work,” or “made work.” The people were stirred to action, and gave heed to the messages of the Lord. The inspiration brought by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah was a mighty incentive to the leaders of Judah to begin work, and they responded to the call by beginning to build, “the prophets of God helping them” (Ezra 5:1,2).

The Lord of hosts. See on Jer. 7:3.
