@ Be
it
known
y@ unto the
king
, that the
Jews
which
came
up
c@
from
thee
to
us
are
come
unto
Jerusalem
Y@ruwshalem (Chald),
building
b@ the
rebellious
and the
bad
city
, and have set
up
k@
k@ the
walls
thereof, and
joined
the
foundations
.
strkjv@Ezra:4:13
@ Be it
known
y@
now
unto the
king
, that,
if
this
city
be
builded
b@, and the
walls
set
up
k@ again, then will they
not
pay
n@
toll
,
tribute
, and
custom
, and so thou shalt
endamage
n@ the
revenue
of the
kings
.
strkjv@Ezra:4:14
@
Now
because
q@
we
have
maintenance
m@
from the kings
palace
, and it was
not
meet
for us to
see
the
kings
dishonour
,
therefore
H1836have we
sent
sh@ and
certified
y@ the
king
;
strkjv@Ezra:4:15
@ That
search
b@ may be made in the
book
of the
records
of thy
fathers
: so shalt thou
find
sh@ in the
book
of the
records
, and
know
y@ that
this
city
is a
rebellious
city
, and
hurtful
n@ unto
kings
and
provinces
, and that they have
moved
sedition
within the
same
of
old
time
:
for
which
cause was
this
city
destroyed
.
strkjv@Ezra:4:16
@
We
certify
y@ the
king
that,
if
this
city
be
builded
b@ again, and the
walls
thereof set
up
k@, by
this
means
thou shalt
have
no
portion
on this
side
the
river
.
strkjv@Ezra:4:17
@ Then
sent
sh@ the
king
an
answer
unto
Rehum
the
chancellor
H2942 t@, and to
Shimshai
the
scribe
, and to the
rest
of their
companions
that
dwell
y@ in
Samaria
, and unto the
rest
beyond
the
river

Peace
, and at such a
time
k@.
strkjv@Ezra:4:18
@ The
letter
which ye
sent
sh@ unto
us
hath been
plainly
p@
read
q@
before
me.
strkjv@Ezra:4:19
@ And
I
commanded
t@, and
search
b@ hath been made, and it is
found
sh@ that
this
city
of
old
time
hath made
insurrection
n@
against
kings
, and that
rebellion
and
sedition
have been
made
therein.
strkjv@Ezra:4:20
@ There have
been
mighty
kings
also
over
Jerusalem
Y@ruwshalem (Chald), which have
ruled
over
all
countries
beyond
the
river
; and
toll
,
tribute
, and
custom

paid
y@ unto them.
strkjv@Ezra:4:21
@
Give
ye
now
commandment
to
cause
these
men
to
cease
b@, and that
this
city
be
not
builded
b@,
until
another
commandment
shall be
given

strkjv@Ezra:4:22
@ Take
heed
z@ now that ye
fail
not to
do
H5648
this
:
why
should
damage
grow
s@ to the
hurt
n@ of the
kings
?
strkjv@Ezra:4:23
@
Now
when
the
copy
of
king
Artaxerxes
letter
was
read
q@
before
Rehum
, and
Shimshai
the
scribe
, and their
companions
, they went
up
in
haste
to
Jerusalem
Y@ruwshalem (Chald)
unto
the
Jews
Y@, and made
them
to
cease
b@ by
force
and
power
.
strkjv@Ezra:4:24
@
Then
ceased
b@ the
work
of the
house
of
God
which is at
Jerusalem
Y@ruwshalem (Chald). So it
ceased
b@
unto
the
second
year
of the
reign

Darius
king
