Give
<07761> (8747)

ye now
<03705>

commandment
<02942>

to cause
<0989> (0)

these
<0479>

men
<01400>

to cease
<0989> (8749)_,

and that this
<01791>

city
<07149>

be not
<03809>

builded
<01124> (8731)_,

until
<05705>

Take heed
<01934> (8747) <02095> (8750)

now that ye fail
<07960>

not to do
<05922> <05648> (8749)

this
<01836>_:

why
<04101>

should damage
<02257>

grow
<07680> (8748)

to the hurt
<05142> (8682)

of the kings

Rehum
<07348>_,

and Shimshai
<08124>

the scribe
<05613>_,

and their companions
<03675>_,

they went up
<0236> (8754)

in haste
<0924>

to Jerusalem
<03390>

unto
<05922>

the Jews
<03062>_,

<01994>

to cease
<0989> (8754)

by force
<0153>

and power
<02429>_.

{by force...: Chaldee, by arm and power}
