Notes and references

He is best known for questioning King Darius in regards to the rebuilding of a temple for the Lord, God of Israel. The rebuilding was being led by Jeshua and Zerubabbel, and had been issued by King Cyrus I. Tattenai wrote a letter to King Darius to ask of these statements were true, and then King Darius wrote a letter confirming that the statements were true. In the letter, Darius asked that the people do everything they can to support this rebuilding financially, and that they do nothing to impede it lest they suffer harsh punishment.
