Ezra 4:2-3

4:2 they came to Zerubbabel and the leaders ⁷  and said to them, “Let us help you build, ⁸  for like you we seek your God and we have been sacrificing to him ⁹  from the time ¹⁰  of King Esarhaddon ¹¹  of Assyria, who brought us here.” ¹²  4:3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the leaders of Israel said to them, “You have no right ¹³  to help us build the temple of our God. We will build it by ourselves for the Lord God of Israel, just as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, has commanded us.”

Nehemiah 2:20

2:20 I responded to them by saying, “The God of heaven will prosper us. We his servants will start the rebuilding. ¹⁴  But you have no just or ancient right in Jerusalem.” ¹⁵

[4:2]  ⁹ tc The translation reads with the Qere, a Qumran MS, the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Arabic version וְלוֹ (vÿlo, “and him”) rather than the Kethib of the MT, וְלֹא (vÿlo’, “and not”).

[4:2]  ¹¹ sn Esarhaddon was king of Assyria ca. 681-669 b.c.

[4:2]  ¹² sn The Assyrian policy had been to resettle Samaria with peoples from other areas (cf. 2 Kgs 17:24-34). These immigrants acknowledged Yahweh as well as other deities in some cases. The Jews who returned from the Exile regarded them with suspicion and were not hospitable to their offer of help in rebuilding the temple.
