Now when the adversaries [6862] of Judah [3063] and Benjamin [1144] heard [8085] that the children [1121] of the captivity [1473] builded [1129] the temple [1964] unto the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel; [3478]

2

Then they came [5066] to Zerubbabel, [2216] and to the chief [7218] of the fathers, [0001] and said [0559] unto them, Let us build [1129] with you: for we seek [1875] your God, [0430] as ye [do]; and we do sacrifice [2076] unto him since the days [3117] of Esarhaddon [0634] king [4428] of Assur, [0804] which brought us up [5927] hither.

3

But Zerubbabel, [2216] and Jeshua, [3442] and the rest [7605] of the chief [7218] of the fathers [0001] of Israel, [3478] said [0559] unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build [1129] an house [1004] unto our God; [0430] but we ourselves together [3162] will build [1129] unto the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel, [3478] as king [4428] Cyrus [3566] the king [4428] of Persia [6539] hath commanded [6680] us.

4

Then the people [5971] of the land [0776] weakened [7503] the hands [3027] of the people [5971] of Judah, [3063] and troubled [0926] them in building, [1129]

5

And hired [7936] counsellors [3289] against them, to frustrate [6565] their purpose, [6098] all the days [3117] of Cyrus [3566] king [4428] of Persia, [6539] even until the reign [4438] of Darius [1867] king [4428] of Persia. [6539]

6

And in the reign [4438] of Ahasuerus, [0325] in the beginning [8462] of his reign, [4438] wrote [3789] they [unto him] an accusation [7855] against the inhabitants [3427] of Judah [3063] and Jerusalem. [3389]

7

And in the days [3117] of Artaxerxes [0783] wrote [3789] Bishlam, [1312] Mithredath, [4990] Tabeel, [2870] and the rest [7605] of their companions, [3674] unto Artaxerxes [0783] king [4428] of Persia; [6539] and the writing [3791] of the letter [5406] [was] written [3789] in the Syrian [0762] tongue, and interpreted [8638] in the Syrian [0762] tongue.

8

Rehum [7348] the chancellor [1169] [2942] and Shimshai [8124] the scribe [5613] wrote [3790] a [2298] letter [0104] against [5922] Jerusalem [3390] to Artaxerxes [0783] the king [4430] in this sort: [3660]

9

Then [0116] [wrote] Rehum [7348] the chancellor, [1169] [2942] and Shimshai [8124] the scribe, [5613] and the rest [7606] of their companions; [3675] the Dinaites, [1784] the Apharsathchites, [0671] the Tarpelites, [2967] the Apharsites, [0670] the Archevites, [0756] the Babylonians, [0896] the Susanchites, [7801] the Dehavites, [1723] [and] the Elamites, [5962]

10

And the rest [7606] of the nations [0524] whom [1768] the great [7229] and noble [3358] Asnappar [0620] brought over, [1541] and set [3488] [1994] in the cities [7149] of Samaria, [8115] and the rest [7606] [that are] on this side [5675] the river, [5103] and at such a time. [3706]

11

This [1836] [is] the copy [6573] of the letter [0104] that [1768] they sent [7972] unto [5922] him, [even] unto [5922] Artaxerxes [0783] the king; [4430] Thy servants [5649] the men [0606] on this side [5675] the river, [5103] and at such a time. [3706]

12

Be it [1934] known [3046] unto the king, [4430] that the Jews [3062] which [1768] came up [5559] from [4481] thee [3890] to us [5922] are come [0858] unto Jerusalem, [3390] building [1124] the rebellious [4779] and the bad [0873] city, [7149] and have set up [3635] the walls [7792] [thereof], and joined [2338] the foundations. [0787]

13

Be it [1934] known [3046] now [3705] unto the king, [4430] that, if [2006] this [1791] city [7149] be builded, [1124] and the walls [7792] set up [3635] [again, then] will they not [3809] pay [5415] toll, [4061] tribute, [1093] and custom, [1983] and [so] thou shalt endamage [5142] the revenue [0674] of the kings. [4430]

14

Now [3705] because [6903] [3606] [1768] we have [4415] maintenance [4416] from [the king's] palace, [1965] and it was not [3809] meet [0749] for us to see [2370] the king's [4430] dishonour, [6173] therefore [5922] [1836] have we sent [7972] and certified [3046] the king; [4430]

15

That search [1240] may be made in the book [5609] of the records [1799] of thy fathers: [0002] so shalt thou find [7912] in the book [5609] of the records, [1799] and know [3046] that this [1791] city [7149] [is] a rebellious [4779] city, [7149] and hurtful [5142] unto kings [4430] and provinces, [4083] and that they have moved [5648] sedition [0849] within the same [1459] of [4481] old [5957] time: [3118] for [5922] which [1836] cause was this [1791] city [7149] destroyed. [2718]

16

We [0586] certify [3046] the king [4430] that, if [2006] this [1791] city [7149] be builded [1124] [again], and the walls [7792] thereof set up, [3635] by this [1836] means [6903] thou shalt have [0383] no [3809] portion [2508] on this side [5675] the river. [5103]

17

[Then] sent [7972] the king [4430] an answer [6600] unto [5922] Rehum [7348] the chancellor, [1169] [2942] and [to] Shimshai [8124] the scribe, [5613] and [to] the rest [7606] of their companions [3675] that dwell [3488] in Samaria, [8115] and [unto] the rest [7606] beyond [5675] the river, [5103] Peace, [8001] and at such a time. [3706]

18

The letter [5407] which ye sent [7972] unto us [5922] hath been plainly [6568] read [7123] before [6925] me.

19

And I [4481] commanded, [7761] [2942] and search [1240] hath been made, and it is found [7912] that this [1791] city [7149] of [4481] old [5957] time [3118] hath made insurrection [5376] against [5922] kings, [4430] and [that] rebellion [4776] and sedition [0849] have been made [5648] therein.

20

There have been [1934] mighty [8624] kings [4430] also over [5922] Jerusalem, [3390] which have ruled [7990] over all [3606] [countries] beyond [5675] the river; [5103] and toll, [4061] tribute, [1093] and custom, [1983] was paid [3052] unto them.

21

Give [7761] ye now [3705] commandment [2942] to cause these [0479] men [1400] to cease, [0989] and that this [1791] city [7149] be not [3809] builded, [1124] until [5705] [another] commandment [2941] shall be given [7761] from me. [4481]

22

Take heed [1934] [2095] now that ye fail [7960] not to do [5922] [5648] this: [1836] why [4101] should damage [2257] grow [7680] to the hurt [5142] of the kings? [4430]

23

Now [0116] when [4481] [1768] the copy [6573] of king [4430] Artaxerxes' [0783] letter [5407] [was] read [7123] before [6925] Rehum, [7348] and Shimshai [8124] the scribe, [5613] and their companions, [3675] they went up [0236] in haste [0924] to Jerusalem [3390] unto [5922] the Jews, [3062] and made them [1994] to cease [0989] by force [0153] and power. [2429]

24

Then [0116] ceased [0989] the work [5673] of the house [1005] of God [0426] which [is] at Jerusalem. [3390] So it ceased [1934] [0989] unto [5705] the second [8648] year [8140] of the reign [4437] of Darius [1868] king [4430] of Persia. [6540]
