Ezra 4:1-8

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>_.
And in the reign
<04438>
of Ahasuerus
<0325>_,
in the beginning
<08462>
of his reign
<04438>_,
wrote
<03789> (8804)
they [unto him] an accusation
<07855>
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{Ahasuerus: Heb. Ahashverosh}
And in the days
<03117>
of Artaxerxes
<0783>
wrote
<03789> (8804)
Bishlam
<01312>_,
Mithredath
<04990>_,
Tabeel
<02870>_,
and the rest
<07605>
of their companions
<03674>_,
unto Artaxerxes
<0783>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_;
and the writing
<03791>
of the letter
<05406>
[was] written
<03789> (8803)
in the Syrian tongue
<0762>_,
and interpreted
<08638> (8794)
in the Syrian tongue
<0762>_.
{Bishlam: or, in peace} {companions: Heb. societies}
Rehum
<07348>
the chancellor
<01169> <02942>
and Shimshai
<08124>
the scribe
<05613>
wrote
<03790> (8754)
a
<02298>
letter
<0104>
against
<05922>
Jerusalem
<03390>
to Artaxerxes
<0783>
the king
<04430>
in this sort
<03660>_:
{scribe: or, secretary}
