Ezra 4:2-10

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>

<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>_.

Rehum
<07348>

Jerusalem
<03390>

to Artaxerxes
<0783>

the king
<04430>

in this sort
<03660>_:

{scribe: or, secretary}

Then
<0116>

[wrote] Rehum
<07348>

the chancellor
<01169> <02942>_,

and Shimshai

<07606>

of the nations
<0524>

whom

the great
