They gave money to the masons and carpenters.They also gave food, drink,and olive oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, so that they would have the strength to bring cedar logs by sea travel from Lebanon to Joppa,authorized by Cyrus, king of Persia.The priests and the Levites (Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the rest of the people) and all who had returned from the captivity to Jerusalem began the work.
