שְׁבֻ֕קוּ לַעֲבִידַ֖ת בֵּית־אֱלָהָ֣א דֵ֑ךְ פַּחַ֤ת יְהוּדָיֵא֙ וּלְשָׂבֵ֣י יְהוּדָיֵ֔א בֵּית־אֱלָהָ֥א דֵ֖ךְ יִבְנ֥וֹן עַל־אַתְרֵֽהּ׃
niech dzieło tego domu Bożego tylko; niech namiestnik żydowski i starszyzna żydowska zbudują ten dom Boży na jego miejscu.
The Third Beit HaMikdash
The prophecy continues: “My servant David shall be their prince forever.” This prophecy was not fulfilled in the era of the Second Beis HaMikdash, when the kings were the descendants of the Chashmonaim, who were kohanim. True, initially, there was a governor from the tribe of Yehudah, as mentioned in the words of Ezra,22See Ezra 6:7. Chaggai,23See Chaggai 1:1, 2:2. and Zechariah,24See Zechariah 4:6-10. but his rule was not perpetuated.
