Ezra:4:1-5




updv@Ezra:4:1 @ Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the sons of the captivity were building a temple to Yahweh, the God of Israel;

updv@Ezra:4:2 @ then they drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers' [houses], and said to them, Let us build with you(note:){+}(:note); for we seek your{+} God, as you{+} do; and we have been sacrificing to him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here.

updv@Ezra:4:3 @ But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers' [houses] of Israel, said to them, You(note:){+}(:note) have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to Yahweh, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.

updv@Ezra:4:4 @ Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,

updv@Ezra:4:5 @ and hired counselors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
