Ezra 4:1-5

Now when the adversaries
<06862>

of Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that the children
<01121>

of the captivity
<01473>

builded
<01129> (8802)

the temple
<01964>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

{the children...: Heb. the sons of the transportation}

Then they came
<05066> (8799)

to Zerubbabel
<02216>_,

and to the chief
<07218>

of the fathers
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Let us build
<01129> (8799)

with you: for we seek
<01875> (8799)

your God
<0430>_,

as ye [do]; and we do sacrifice
<02076> (8802)

unto him since the days
<03117>

of Esarhaddon
<0634>

king
<04428>

of Assur
<0804>_,

which brought us up hither
<05927> (8688)_.

But Zerubbabel
<02216>_,

and Jeshua
<03442>_,

and the rest
<07605>

of the chief
<07218>

of the fathers
<01>

of Israel
<03478>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

unto our God
<0430>_;

but we ourselves together
<03162>

will build
<01129> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

as king
<04428>

Cyrus
<03566>

the king
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>

hath commanded
<06680> (8765)

us.

Then the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

weakened
<07503> (8764)

the hands
<03027>

of the people
<05971>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and troubled
<0926> (8764) (8675) <01089> (8764)

them in building
<01129> (8800)_,

And hired
<07936> (8802)

counsellors
<03289> (8802)

against them, to frustrate
<06565> (8687)

their purpose
<06098>_,

all the days
<03117>

of Cyrus
<03566>

king
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>_,

even until the reign
<04438>

of Darius
<01867>

king
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>_.
