Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo,.... The grandson of Iddo; for he was the son of Berechiah, Zechariah 1:1,
prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel; this they both did in the second year of Darius; the one began in the sixth month, and the other in the eighth month of the year, Haggai 1:1, even "unto them"; or "against them", as De Dieu; reproving them for their sloth and neglect of building the temple, when they were careful enough to raise up goodly houses for themselves to dwell in; and for being intimidated by the command of the king of Persia, which only forbid the building of the city, that is, the walls of it, but not the temple any more than their own houses; and besides, there was now a new king, from whom they had not so much to fear.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Haggai and Zechariah stirred up Zerubbabel and Joshua Ezra 5:2; Haggai 1:14, and warned the people against neglecting the building of the temple, in order to give themselves to the beautifying of their own houses (see Haggai 1:4, Haggai 1:9). Zechariah was the son of Berechiah, and grandson of Iddo (see the marginal reference; Matthew 23:35). Compare a similar application of âsonâ in the case of Jehu (see the 2 Kings 9:20 note).
In the name of the God of Israel, even unto them - Rather, âin the name of the God of Israel, which was upon them.â The two prophets addressed the Jews, in respect of their being Godâs people, or, in Hebrew phrase (see the Jeremiah 15:16 margin), âhaving Godâs name called upon them.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Euphrates, and his companions, inquire by what authority
they do this, 3-5.
